Default POWER STEERING

When I start my XJ the steering wheel goes all the way to the right??
If I drive it, I constantly have to hold the wheel straight to keep it from going right. If moving or parked it automatically spins to the right
I made sure i didn't get my supply and return lines crossed up.

01 xj w 6.5 long arm

That's got to be it because AFAIK the hoses are different sizes.
