    Your best bet is to remove the cover for the timing belt, just a 12mm bolt. Then take a look at the very bottom of the engine and see if there is any water coming from the pump. Even a little seepage requires immediate replacement of the pump.
    The bad part is the timing belt must be taken off the water pump before pulling the pump off. Replacing the pump is fairly easy, the T belt is not.

    Also check the lines from the antifreeze overflow bottle to the engine for leaks.

    OK, just one thing to mention from my direct experience. My S70 had an expansion tank leak that showed up ONLY when the car was good and hot. I could not see the crack when I had the tank in hand but it sure sprayed a fine spray through a tiny crack when fully pressurized, in the car. Any possibility you might have the same? A new tank from Tasca is cheap as an aftermarket.
