Don't think reason it's running away is because of a leaky seal.... would be nice but I doubt it.
Abuzar, the trouble with your idea of getting a junkyard pump and having it put on is that in all likelihood that is not practically possible... first of all, finding an intact D24T injection pump in a junkyard would be a small miracle; second of all if you do find one there is little chance it will be immediately in useable condition, will likely require new seals at the least...
and third and most importantly, there is no such thing as a "simple replace" when it comes to an injection pump on this or any other diesel engine. Very unlikely you will find anyone who is willing to even touch it, let alone someone who has the special tools and knowledge required to do the job. Unfortunately, you can't just bolt it on and drive it away, the timing has to be set which requires tools and procedure that can't be fudged. There's no shortcut, period... keep in mind that if it's not done *exactly* right, at best the engine will run poorly, and more likely it won't run at all.
You can call around to some junkyards and see if any have a diesel Volvo there, and call around to some Volvo or VW specialist shops and see if anyone is willing (and able!!) to put a pump on -- worth a try anyway -- but my best guess is that you won't find any luck on either count. These cars are rare and professional mechanics capable and willing to work on them are even rarer.
Your easiest approach here, I suspect, will be to figure out what went wrong with your pump yourself, and repair it from there. Truth is that fixing an issue like this is not really difficult as long as you have the knowledge, tools, and above all the patience (i.e. you're not a mechanic trying to make flat rate on a job they've never done before!). You probably have the time, and we can gladly help you on here with the knowledge and the tools...
How about some pictures of your throttle linkage?
