A good clue would be water in the oil.
That said, just because you do not have water in the oil, doesn't mean the block is not cracked.
Have a good mechanic check the car.

Your truck does not overheat but can I still have a cracked block?
Yes you can. A cracked block does not necessarily mean the car will overheat. If a block is cracked at a coolant jacket then coolant will leak out and the car will overheat if the leak is bad enough. If the leak is not very major or if the crack is at a point that does not have a coolant jacket then it will not overheat. A cracked block could leak oil, compressed air/fuel, coolant, or nothing at all and still be cracked. -R. Mesyef

How did oil get in my radiator?
You probably have a cracked head gasket, and the oil mixed with the water that circulates through the block and got into your radiator.Or if the car ran hot and you have aluminun heads, you could have warped the head causing the water and oil to mix. Or your block could be cracked.
