Could this have been seen when he repaired the front end??
Maybe. But it may not have been leaking that bad. So many people drive around with this type of leak, and it is so expensive to fix he may not have bothered to tell you. Also, he may not have the proper skill to so the repair.
In the future if you want your mechanic to tell you everything that is wrong, ask him to do a full inspection. Even than a leak can start after he looks.

the leak is most likely coming from either the differential cover gasket or the input flange that the drive shaft attaches to, this is called the pinion seal.

If it's not under the hood, then the only other place BMW places their batteries is in the trunk. Since it's a Sport Wagon, pull up where the rear spare would be and it will be there, usually on the right hand side.
Hope this Helps,

SOURCE: Bluetooth passkey--'06 530XI--can you find the passkey?
The number was on a white card stuck in with the manual binder. Or if you don't have it, its located in the trunk, behind the left nav access panel on a silver "TCU" module about the size of 2 vhs tapes stacked together. if you look at the eject button on the nav player its located just to the right and is installed on about a 45 degree angle.
there is a white lable with the "PK" on it. i used a small telescoping mirror but you can also slightly pull back the trunk liner above the unit and it will be easily located. If any of this options works go to Bmw dealer for service and we found it in car computer.
