Depends on your engine...

On a 545 is it circled in attached picture. On a 530 it is on the opposite side.

Check the steering fluid level, that's easy enough to do, but in my case messages on the Active steering Malfunction and the Dynamic Drive Malfunction messages were related to water in the battery compartment. It only takes a minute to check, just open the trunk and remove a couple of plastic fasteners.
