Each lung lies within the pleural cavity within which the lung expands. The pleural cavity is lined by two transparent elastic membranes called the pleura/pleural membranes. The inner pleuron covers the lung the outer pleuron is in contact with the walls of the thorax and the diaphragm. A thin layer of lubricating fluid between the pleural membranes allows them to glide over each other when the lungs expand and contract during breathing. So your answer is the pleural fluid lies between the pleural membranes.

What is an excessive buildup of fluid in the lungs called?
The human body produces a small amount of pleura liquid in order to lubricate the surfaces of the pleura. Pleura is the thin tissue which surrounds the lungs and also lines the chest cavity.

Some of the causes of exudative pleural effusions aredrug reactioninjury to the lungsinhalation of toxinsblocked blood vesselskidney failure or kidney diseasescancerpulmonary embolism (blockage of lung blood vessels)viral infectionbacterial pneumoniaHigh altitude
