Depending on the platform, a newline will generally either be a CHR(10) (Unix) or a CHR(13) followed by a CHR(10) (Windows). There are other options for other more esoteric platforms, but 99.999% of the time, it will be one of these two.

You can search the data in a column looking for one or both characters

SELECT instr( column_name, CHR(10) ) position_of_first_lf,
       instr( column_name, CHR(13) || CHR(10) ) position_of_first_cr_lf
  FROM table_name
 WHERE instr( column_name, CHR(10) ) > 0
