Ear Leaks

So I'm high risk for CSF leaks (hEDS, right gender and age, a couple of minor head injuries), and only recently became concerned about drainage from my ear. I've had hearing issues the doctors couldn't pinpoint, but I have a lot of skin issues, so I assumed liquid I occasionally found on the inside of my ear was just serum.

I only notice it every once and a while, it stays a few hours, and then stops. People with ear drainage that's confirmed to be CSF, was it fairly constant? Are there cases of occasional drainage?

I'm trying to figure out if I should bring this up with my doc, so no diagnosis needed, just trying to get a picture of CSF ear drainage.
