yellow liquid from nose

I was knealing down earlier and a stream of yellow watery liquid came from my right nostril.  I'd say about 2 tablespoons of liquid is what ran out of my nose.  This was not mucus and I have not been sick at all lately.  About an hour later I bent over again and could feel it about to happen again and blew my nose right away, again it was a yellow liquid.  I have never experienced this before.  I tried researching on the net but no real luck yet.  I have not had any kind of head injury lately.  I do work in hot conditions though almost daily.  I work new construction in houses with no AC, with temps getting above 110 with the heat index.  This week I did get pretty hot 2 days in a row.  I have worked in these conditions before and it has never bothered me, but on these 2 particular days, my eyes at the end of the day burned a good bit.  Could the heat be hurting me in a way I am not aware of ?  Today was Saturday and I didn't work, so I didn't get hot at all.  Can someone please help me out here and point me in the right direction of what might be wrong.

That "brain fluid stuff is freaking me out. I have had the problem for like 3 days and have just realised that it is not to be taken lightly. Worse like 20 minutes ago I blew my nose (for like the 3 time this morning) and when i stuffed a tissue in to remove the rest of the snot a little trace of blood was on the tip of it. That "brain fuild" thing is freaking me out. I'm going to the doctor at lunch time!

This has just happened to me as well, and what the scariest thing is is that all the people that have reported this seem to have at least one thing in common, eg age, and I had a not unpleasant but sort of bleachy smell up my nose, and was only a few small drips.

EVERYONE READ the post from wotsupdoc!

Thanks very much!  This is logical & helpful.

I've had a bad cold that went through stages for 8 days until today:
flaming sore throat, head congestion, dry chest cough, loose chest cough, excessive clear nasal mucus
Just when I was able to sleep through last night without coughing & feeling better, I suddenly blew my nose that produced alarmingly thick & BRIGHT YELLOW MUCUS, followed after several major blows with clear mucus again.  My nasal passages & sinuses feel more clear than ever, with a little ache-iness.  I assumed the bright yellow was somehow a sign of final clearing, which "wotsupdoc" seems to have confirmed.  Thanks!
