Change the oil !! Might want to remove the upper cylinder and check the piston seal.. O rings if they are present..
Never run without water pump. If it's not building pressure most likely piston rings is damage. Just cause you can't see the damage from outside don't mean there isn't internal damage. You have to take the whole compressor apart and check both 1st stage and 2nd stage piston seals. Aka low pressure and high pressure piston seals.
I'd guess that the low pressure rings are fine as they are steel and the cooling water doesn't cool the low side cylinder. While I don't have any experience with your particular model, I did own a Tuxing with the larger head. I'm assuming that they are generally the same.You could check if it is your hose if you have the small tampon filter by putting the foster fittings directly on it and dead heading the output to see if pressure builds.If not then pop the gold cylinder off and change the high side rings. You should have gotten some extras when you bought it. The gauge should have a dowty seal. The rubber may have melted and could be causing a leak. Pull the gauge and I believe there is also a spring and check valve under it. I'd suggest to change the seal and use your judgement on the check valve.If that doesn't work, next step would be to remove the output nipple as I believe there is a Teflon seal seated behind it. There should have been extras provided as well.Good luck and let us know.PS, plugging the compressor and the water pump into a power strip will prevent them from not running together.

Thanks for the update. If you could post some pictures as well that would be a great help as well. There are so many different compressors that they may vary slightly.
It does look like it got hot. The steel cylinder is what the piston rides in. Looks like the 4 piston rings on the second stage should be changed out.
