Without trama can spinal fluid leak?

I have been having trouble since June with a feeling of being on a ship.
I feel like I am going side to side.  I also have a feeling of fluid
running in my ears.  I went to my doctor and he said I had an sinus infection
and that I was holding fluid in my ears.  Was put on antibiotices,  I was
on them for 3 months and I didn't get any better.  I was sent to an
ENT doctor and he said the he couldn't find any reason for the symptems that
I was having.  I have had a MRI on my head and it was normal, and MRI on
my back and there is a Malformation that the neuroligist said has been in
my back since birth and isn't what is causing the problem.  I have been
having facial swelling and I had an Cat scan to rule out superior vena cava
syndrom (syndrome).  I keep telling the doctors that I can feel fluid collectiong on
top of my head, I have a very sore spot that everyone keeps telling me that
it is just a feeling, and it isn't happening.  Well I would really believe
this if I didn't have my face fill up with fluid every time I can fell the f
fluid run dowm my forhead.  I know it sounds really odd and I have been to
7 doctors now and am feeling like I don't know where to turn.
