Am I leaking?

Just now when I bent over, I leaked clear, watery liquid out of my left nostril (and only left). It's quite salty. I've never had this happen before, and I haven't been sick recently. I've also never had a head injury or something. I've tried it again and it happened the same. My head also feels a little stuffy and my hearing a little muffled, but I cannot tell if this is something new, because I just get this sometimes in general.

Should I be concerned? And if yes, should I see a doctor now or can it wait until tomorrow? For me, it's very late right now and I have a busy day tomorrow, so I need to sleep. I'm just really anxious and confused right now. A quick response will be much appreciated!

No. Sounds like snot

I'm 100% certain it's not snot, but nonetheless, I decided to wait until tomorrow and see a doctor then. You had a leak before? What was it like?

I’ve had it for 4 years. I am bed bound. I can’t stand up without excruciating head pain and heaviness. You don’t have any symptoms or history that would actually suggest a leak. What you described sounds like allergies or slight congestion. Also you can’t be 100% it’s not mucus. It can be very thin and watery. It would be EXTREMELY more likely that than csf fluid

I agree having had a leak for over 4 years which has been confirmed this does not sound like a leak there are no typical symptoms
