Default 1991 Vander plas 4.0 L steering wheel froze up

My 1991 vanden plas 4.0l with self leveling steering has froze up there was a leak on the reservoir so I was taking one of the lines off and broke a nipple JB welded the nipple back on the reservoir it still leaks and leaked out when I was far away from home I replace it with regular power steering fluid and topped it off and of course I lost my power steering and drove at least 60 miles with no power steering and then parked it and then went to drive it again and the steering wheel would not move is it because I put the wrong oil in that steering should lock up as it is what should I do

You may want to post in a different section of this forum. This one is for 1995-1997 Jaguars.
