Soon: I suggest that you actually get checked regularly by your OB-GYN. Leaking of amniotic fluid is usually a sign of impending delivery and you are at term ( 40 weeks )

Concerning: If you are 41 weeks (Post term) have broken your water then you need to be seen in a hospital. This is a condition called premature rupture of membranes - meaning your water broke before labor. Your labor can be augmented with medication. This is especially important since you are post term.
