Default Alright Guys, let's hold off on the hypotheticals..

Gentlemen,
Until the OP returns with the CEL codes, we can't do anything but guess.
I personallly, have a hunch that he'll come back with "Cylinder Misfire" codes.

Since the motor still runs, he's probably dodged a bullet and only needs new spark plugs.

That said, I have to address two comments..

:nono: No. No. No. Talk about mis-information...

The absolute last thing you want to do is start dumping more fluids into the combustion chamber. That is a guaranteed way to compound the damage.
At best you'll blow a head gasket...at worst, you'll buckle a con-rod or demolish pistons.

well the check engine light went out. the sound went away so i think all the water's out. My friend's dad (mechanic/junk yard owner) said that it takes 50 miles for your car CEL to go off if there's no longer a problem with you car. So as i see it, its fine now. Thanks guys

It sounds like you got lucky, but I'm not entirely convinced.
CEL codes do not clear based on mileage.
Did you ever retrieve the code?
