Spinal fluid, also known as cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), is typically clear and colorless. However, if there is an underlying condition or infection, it may appear cloudy or have a yellowish tint. These changes can indicate various medical issues, such as infections or bleeding in the central nervous system. Regular, healthy CSF should maintain its clear appearance.
Spinal fluid leaks can be caused by punctures or disease in the spinal cord.

spinal fluid
It is called cerebrospinal fluid or CSF.
Cerebral spinal fluid is supposed to provide nutrition to the brain and spinal cord. It is secreted from the arteries and drains into the veins. That is how the blood flows. From high pressure arteries to low pressure veins. In between the fluid goes to interstitial compartment. Here the spinal fluid is like the interstitial compartment.
