Its been going on for a few months and yes I have headaches and I feel like I'm running a fever even though the thermometer doesn't indicate it. About a half teaspoon runs out.the liquid is clear and non offensive. its salty

Brief Answer:
Please, get the nostrils examined!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is certainly from the nose and the surrounding sinuses. With no fever, pain and the liquid not being offensive, it is very unlikely that there is an active infection going on. I will like to get the nostrils examined to look for possible pockets that may explain this fluid collection and drainage when you lean forward. Your primary care doctor can actually do so.

I wish you well and let me now how the visit goes.
