No additive is going to help with a catastrophic failure and may do more damage. You need to do some diagnosis. First of all is the fluid just leaking out, like from a busted hose? 


There is no leaking anywhere, I started the car one morning and and it said to service power steering system and I couldn't turn the wheel at all, I used the car the day before all day with no issues at all, the reason I ask about the trans tune is because I saw a video Scotty used it to fix a power steering problem, I really needs Somme guidance here I just spent what money I had to fix anther issue with the car, I need the car to drive but I can't afford very much at all, please help me.


If there is no power steering with the system filled with fluid and there are no leaks it pretty much has to be a bad pump. Usually not an expensive part but I looked it up, and holy highway robbery, those pumps for the 300s are in the $500-$1000 range! (I usually expect those to be under $100 - a PS pump for my ancient Saab is only about $90!)

 

Looking at the photos though it looks like that is an electronically-controlled pump, I see electrical connectors and what looks like an electric motor on it. Probably controlled by a computer module so the problem may not even be the pump itself. This is not anything I've dealt with before, you're going to need some input from someone familiar with that setup and it probably needs to be diagnosed with a fancy bi-directional scan tool. About the only easy things I can think of to check would be any fuses or relays in that circuit as well as the electrical connectors on the pump itself.
