Previously I owned 2 - 850's but I never needed to replace a fuel pressure regulator or pump so I don't know for sure. From my readings, I'd check above the steering rack near the passenger front wheel and also next to the fuel pump.

Before throwing parts at it - the pump in particular is expensive!! - I suggest doing some more reading on how to test them. Matthews Volvo site has a lot of info on the FWD/AWD cars. Maybe rent a fuel pressure gauge? Personally don't know a lot about diagnosing with them but I believe a fuel pressure gauge should help with the pump diagnosis anyway.

Having replaced a FPR on my 240 one thing I do know for sure is that if the FPR is weeping fuel it is done. Check for odors/leaks.
