Do compression tests wet and dry and go from there.
Your head gasket maybe bad.

If the car ever overheated, you likely have a bad head gasket. If the test was done properly, checking for combustion gases, and it's negative, you may have a chance.
I have had actual Volvo water pumps fail with the impeller to come off. I have seen a lot of bad water pumps, most of which just leak but some do loose the impeller inside the motor.

Is there a way to check the water pump without pulling it?
Also, noticed the purple hose to the check air valve(which I think is the original) was pretty much deteriorated and not really even connected anymore. Would this be the culprit? I am going to check the air pump(original) as well, I heard some whining coming from it.
Is there a way to check the relays for the pump? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
