Dr. Ian Carroll is arguably the best resource in the world. Starting here is probably a good choice.

No idea why I currently can't find a non walled version of the first link. It's important - and general googling would be "when to suspect a CSF Leak Ian Carroll"
Secondary to Dr. Carroll
Dr. Wouter Schievink at Cedars-Sinai also has good information... He's actually the pioneer of research IIRC.
Saved a dude from a diagnosis of dementia and spending the rest of his deluded days in a nursing home.

IIRC - in the end, based on decades of patient history, he just opened this guy up as a last resort and nearly missed - but did find the leak. Near full recovery.
It seems to be that there are some very high risk groups, like those with connective tissue disorders - specifically, Ehlers Danlos. Also, from Carroll's findings, a lot of people diagnosed with POTS are often misdiagnosed and truly have some small CSF Leak. Ehlers Danlos and POTS often go hand in hand as well...
