For the past 3 or 4 days i have been really sick like coughing mucus so on and so forth but anyhow i am having a problem with leaking..Not water breaking but bladder issues..I can use up to 3 to 4 pads just with that and it's driving me up the wall...I don't understand it.?? Is this normal? I mean i'm towards the end of my second pregnancy is that the cause?

Yes, that is my question as well.  Are you absolutely certain it's urine?  If there is any doubt in your mind, call the doctor and be seen today.  Water breaking does not necessarily have to be a big gush.

oh and also, when your sick and very pregnant, you tend to have "accidental leakage", i believe even people who are not prenant have this problem if their coughing alot

be very careful though because my water did end up breaking, it didnt gush out like a lot of peoples, but it slowly leaked out, i went to the hospital again, and they said the same thing, that it was urine, but 48 hours later i came in with my membranes ruptured, i had to stay in the hospital for two days because if your water breaks 24 hrs before you give birth, it can cause infection, so it was my water the last time, and they even did a test to see if it ruptured and it came back negative.... if that makes sense

how far along are you? i thought my water broke when i was 35 weeks, i rushed to the hospital only for them to tell me i was peeing on myself, nothing to worry about its very normal, also after i gave birth, i continued to have that problem for about a month, doc says its because my bladder was "recovering" so good luck
