Hi there! Yes, by all means keep feeding your starter! It's not unusual to experience off odors at some points during the starter creation process so there's no need to be alarmed. The clear liquid doesn't sound worrisome either. It's also not uncommon to see the starter rise and fall during the first few days of the process, although this may be due to bacteria that give off carbon dioxide, rather than wild yeast activity.
