What's the reason for the coolant issue? Is your serpentine belt still there? If the belt broke, the coolant problem would have been because the waterpump isn't getting turned AND the fan also isn't spinning. That belt also drives the power steering and could be the cause of no power steering.
Don't drive without the belt or you could end up replacing the engine.
Figure out the cause for the belt breaking, fix that problem, replace the belt, and I'd recommend replacing the thermostat at the same time.
