Do a google search for YouTube 50skid m54 rebuild. There are about 30 videos in a series covering head gasket repair on the M54 engine. He discusses compression testing, what tools to buy, what the cost was, etc. I’m not an expert, but it sure seemed to me that he covered it well.
Looks like about 10 hours or more of videos, so go ahead and get started watching!
Good luck - let us know how it turns out. As Andrewwynn pointed out, it’s possible the head gasket went first, then high pressure popped a weak spot in the hose. I don’t know how one can tell if the chicken or the egg came first. From a practical standpoint it doesn’t matter - at this point the repair is the same.
