A sniff test is about 90% right on a diesel even more accurate on a petrol.
Google sniff test.

The only way to tell if its cracked head or blown gasket is to remove the head and if you don't see any cracks get it crack tested, if its okay then you should see signs of blow by over the fire rings of the head gasket, or worse...
