OK, I can answer my own question now; I went to my friendly U Pull It yard and "pulled" the pump out of a '99 S70, which is the same pump. The pump is actually housed in a plastic surround. So for a leak like I had, on top of the pump, it means the housing is cracked. So I paid $23+tax, and spent another hour at home taking old cracked pump out, and putting the "UPI Special" in its place. It runs like a charm. We shall see if there are any leaks when I fill up again.
I have noticed in other threads the concern about depressurizing the fuel system. I used my hand vacuum pump and pulled a vacuum on the fuel pressure regulator for a second or two. When I got the hoses off the pump, there was no pressure in the system, I may have lost 2 - 3 drops of fuel.
Best to all
