4. Trauma

Damage to the head or ears can cause internal bleeding or ear trauma. In some cases, injuries like this can lead to cerebrospinal fluid leaking from the ears. Though this fluid is typically clear, it may mix with blood and take on a pink or red color. Blood or fluid leaking from the ear following an accident or head injury is often a sign of a life-threatening issue.
