Been there one that.   

CSF leak 4 days after the first surgery,   after second surgery had a  suspected leak  a month later.   then had leakaged a month after that,  (turned out ot be a staph infection)

The used bone cement to patch my leak,   and lots of fat from the tummy.    The last time turned out to be an abcess that they had not detected.   

I've been leak free now for 3 weeks.    My first surgery was january 18th.

Was there leakage from your nose and a nasal drip? .
