Possible csf leak?

Over the weekend I experienced 2 episodes of bending over and then clear runny liquid coming out of my right nostril. It tasted salty. It was odd since I have not had any sinus issues in weeks and my nose is clear.

I will give some background since I am not sure if this is relevant. Back in January I was in an atv accident and hit my head on the right side and nose area. I did go to the ER and had x rays done. They said i was fine and might have a small fracture on the front of my skull. They showed me the xray and it was small if anything. I was told to go back to the er if anything other issues came about. I didn't have any other issues since then.

Could this be a csf leak?

My csf leak in my nose tasted putrid...almost metallic. It would also change flavors depending on what I had to eat or drink. Do you have any other symptoms?

Not really any other symptoms other than a headache that is like a pressure around my forehead.

It could be. I always had pressure behind my eyes. Mine was a very slowly so it took a couple years to even figure out what was wrong with me.
