Default Steering Trouble

I have a 1999 Cherokee that has recently started to turn better to the right than to the left. The steering wheel has turned 180 degrees from were straight used to be, to now when driving straight, the wheel is upside down. I have examined the pitman arm, drag link, tie rod, and power steering box and have found nothing broken. One of the lines to the power steering box does look to be leaking a bit. I have also looked at the linkage from the firewall to the steering box.
I am wondering if anyone has had this sort of problem with their Jeep, and can shed some light on the subject.
Thanks,
Appreciate any help offered.

Did this happen gradually or suddenly? If it has been gradual then all you should have to do is adjust the Pittman arm back to center.
