Could I have developed a CSF leak?

Please help, don't know what to do. 10 days ago I got a lot of water in my left ear. For a couple days I let it drain but it always felt full, lots of pressure, I can't hear out of it and for several days I've had this white slime like substance drain from my ear when I lay down. I don't believe it's an infection of any kind because there is no foul smell and no pain. I saw a general doctor and she said my outer ear was clear but I had congestion behind my eardrum and called it an inner ear problem and told me to take Sudafed. Well I can't take the hearing loss, the ringing in my ear, the drainage or the pressure and fullness anymore!!!! I should also mention I have a pituitary macroadenoma and not sure if the drainage could be a CSF leak. I know it's rare but I don't know what else could be causing it?????
