Arghhh Yes!!! The water going down is one sign that the head gasket could have blown. You may also find that when you check the oil that it is a greyish colour too. A blown head gasket will usually allow water to get into the oil.
As for checking the timing belt... I am very sorry, but without being familiar with the engine I couldn't accurately tell you as I have only ever worked with engines that have push rods or timing chains.
There is bound to be someone in this forum who can tell you exactly what you need to know though.
Cheers
Wayne
