Best replace seal & bearings if its the pump. If its the box, new seal & tighten the bearing. good luck

I used it in a Jeep with a little roughness in the power steering; provided immediate and lasting improvement.

I tried some of that stuff, and it caused the steering box to leak more.

It can help if the leak is not too advanced. It works by softening and swelling the seals. The leak may be stopped but it is strictly temporary.

That stuff is probably formulated to be compatible with power steering fluid, which is different than the dextron that the 300D uses. You probably want auto transmission magic liquid repair, unless your car uses regular PS fluid.

Had phenomenal luck with the prestone stop leak, and my friend has had good luck with the lucas.
I've got 2 years on two pumps with prestone in it, it doesn't leak at all anymore, my friend has about 4 months on the lucas. Nothing terrible has happened yet. Even if D-day comes, for $6 I prolonged the inevitable for two years, not bad IMO. Thats my personal experience.
