What you have may not be CSF leak but could just be fluid draining from your sinuses. It is important to follow up with your doctor so you could be reevaluated.

Can easily test fluid to see if spinal origin. Most likely sinus. See your surgeon and confirm

I just woke up intensely dizzy with my ears leaking fluid. If a CSF leak was happening, would it only be in one ear? Vestibular cause more likely?

Every time i bend over, for the past year, and following a lumbar puncture, i hear a loud thump of fluid in one ear. Do I have a CSF leak? It's not sinus or allergy related i've ruled that out.

Had a runny nose mix with mucus and tear drops dripping out of 1 nostril for about month now. Had sinus surgery 8 months ago. Could it be CSF leak?
