Normally for me  with both mine I had a gush the first they broke my water and the second happened naturally right after I just used the bathroom, I can't really 'recall it having a Color or smell I just remembered it was really wet like I pee my pants but it doesn't feel like you pee because it just comes out unexpectedly and you can't hold it back .. but then if I cough or sneeze or if I move up in bed the pressure would cause more to gush out even riding the elevator up to l&d caused more to gush out ... It's possible you could just have a leak but it's also possible and more likely it's just extra discharge, pee or even sweat

It depends. Mine both gushed like you see in movies,  but it is possible to have a slow leak. However,  it's also normal to have an increase in discharge as you near your due date. You could call l&d and ask,  but a good way to tell is to use the bathroom then lay down for about an hour while wearing a pantyliner. If you get up and enough fluid leaks out for you to have to change it then i would get it checked.
