Yep, that fluid is a normal part of healing. If it is still opening I'd go to the hospital, tell them what happened and that it's been closed with steri-strips since and they may then re-stitich it. In the future if a wound re-opens after the stitches have been taken out then get down to a hospital/ MIU/ Walk-In Centre and get it stitched back up again. If it was previously stitched there is no reason why not (though they may want to cut some of the tissue at the edges away) but it would need to be covered by a dressing for all the time that it is open.
