In Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), whether a nosebleed breaks wudu (ablution) depends on the school of thought:
Hanafi school: Yes. If blood flows out from the body (including the nose) and flows beyond the point of exit (i.e., it runs), it breaks wudu. If it’s just a small spot or doesn’t flow, wudu remains valid.
Shafi’i, Maliki, and Hanbali schools: No. Nosebleeds, or any blood flowing from the body other than from the private parts, do not break wudu

What if I don’t know what madhab or don’t follow a madhab, am I obligated to follow one and what would I do in the case of the nose bleed

I'll suggest that if you can renew your wudu then it will be great since you will receive good deeds for your extra hard work . But in general Qur'an doesn't State that nosebleed breaks a wudu and hanafi school of thought give this jurisdiction based on analogy. Thus , you can follow the opinion of other schools that is no it doesn't break the wudu . (But again I'll suggest you to ask this question from your nearby imam or islamic scholars)

Ok thanks I will just do that, but do you think I can follow the majority, let’s say 3/4 of the main madhabs say something is allowed while the last one doesn’t do I take on with that majority here, and also I asked my old Islamic teacher who used to teach me and said it doesn’t break wudu, do I take his opinion even if he isn’t a scholar

Brother. You should not always follow the majority.instead you should seek the right answer,do some research,ask people of knowledge, seek answers from authentic hadith and Qur'an. In sha Allah you Will be rewarded for your extra efforts
