Can a csf leak reoccur 2 years after spinal headache during csection?

Very unlikely: That would be very unlikely. Other possibilities should be considered based on your current complaints.

CSF leak: If a CSF leak is going to occur it is usually within weeks to months, if you are 2 years out while there might still be a risk it would be very low.
