CSF leak is serious so don't let the doctor mess you around, you could get meningitis.  I was in isolation for 4 weeks while I awaited surgery and it was awful. 
CSF fluid tastes quite like your tears a little salty so if thats what you taste it most likely is brain fluid.

This is true a CSF leak can potentially be serious, but not to worry if you are staying home and taking it easy.  Just try not to go out and do to much as you may be susceptible to meningitis or other infections.
It surely does taste salty I can attest to that, not something I will quickly forget.

No CSF leak  , amazing how my consultant could tell me that over the phone without even seeing me!!
"The natural healing process"  is what I was told, don't really have the dripping down my throat anymore and the change of shape in my head has become less and less pronounced and frequent over the last week, so I guess he must be correct.
