Its colostrum. It changes to meet the nutritional needs of your baby, so it can be different colours at different times.
Sounds like your body is ready to feed that baby! Congrats!

Yes, that's colostrum. You can start wearing nursing pads (Curity are my favorite) even while you're pregnant if they're leaking a lot.
It may become more orange when you actually give birth, and then it will slowly turn white.

Colustrum can be clear or a light yellow. Your breasts are preparing themselves to produce milk. Some women leak early some do not began to produce colustrum or milk until after the birth. All you can do is place breast pads inside of your bra so your clothing is not ruined or discolored. What you're experiencing is completely normal and no cause for alarm..

mine was clear until my actual milk came in then it was creamy colored. Usually the colostrum is clear and looks more like water but can be cloudy too as the milk is trying to come in.

Mine used to be clear, nothing to worry about. The only thing coming out of your breast while pregnant its very much expected.
