Steering Rack Leaking

Stupid question but is the high side connected to the low side. That will definitely blow the seals(I personally know someone that happened too..... let’s just say a close friend). Is the pulley factory size or smaller. Are the hose sizes correct.
I know how frustrating this is. Especially taking it out and putting it back in. The 5.7 weighs as much as a slant 6.

At the onset we checked the hoses. Typically the steering will auto rotate if the hoses are switched but unfortunately not the case here. The hoses match the fitting sizes so not much room for error here. It was thought of by others that maybe we were over spinning the motor due to the supercharger, BUT we have used the factory pulley's consistently. AND, logically I still scratch my head when we get into this discussion as you would think....that no matter what RPM or pressure is being run, the check valve would do its job and relieve any exceeding pressure.
