Can a lumber punch leak again after you had a blood patch moths ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumbar leak : It appears that a patch in some cases may lack durability. See https://spinalcsfleak.org/about-spinal-csf-leaks/treatment/ Would follow up with neurology or neurosurgery.

I recently developed Arachnoiditis from a blood patch (clumped nerves L5-S1). About three weeks ago I notice a small amount of CSF leak in right nostril during the night. Fluid would come out the left side, off and on for years until a craniotomy in 2009.
