I don't want to contradict your doctor, but from what I understand a lumbar puncture is not (or no longer) the go-to test for a CSF leak. I believe MRIs of the spine and CT myelograms are the standard tests. If you haven't already, try taking a look at the csfleak.info page on diagnosis.

You might consider asking your doctor why he wants to go straight to lumbar puncture.
