Yes: It is very common if sinuses are very inflamed or infected - to bleed.

Rarely: Sinuses are in the face and head and do not usually bleed when infected. But the start of a sinusitis is usually viral and is an inflammation of the nose and is called rhinitis. Sometimes this inflammation of the nose (rhinitis) may cause nose bleeds.
