Leakage of fluid: Requires evaluation. Even though you may not be having contractions, potential rupture of membranes should be evaluated at labor and delivery. This can be a sign that labor is about to start, but if it does not start it can lead to an infection if baby is not delivered within 24 hours. Please go to labor and delivery where they will contact your doctor.

Could be!: If you are leaking fluid from the vagina, it could be that your "water has broken". Call your OB doc or get checked.
