It's different every pregnancy. Just because you started leaking at 16 weeks with your son, doesn't mean you will start leaking that early this pregnancy.

Milk isn't actually produced until after you give birth. Usually within 48 hours. Early in pregnancy however, your breasts begin making a substance called colostrum, a thick whiteish, yellowish liquid that is high in fat. This is what you baby will eat until the milk comes in. While some women begin leaking colostrum early in pregnancy, especially if this is not your first pregnancy, some women will not experience any discharge until shortly after delivery. Do not worry at all. Good luck and hope you have a happy and healthy remainder of your pregnancy!

hon, im 35 weeks and not making milk yet either lmao.
i was told that sometimes it happens before hand,
and other times it happens RIGHT after you give birth because of a certain hormone that gets released.
i wouldnt be too concerned!
