I never leaked at all until after my daughters were born.  I nursed both of them successfully for over a year, so leaking before birth is not indicative of ability to breastfeed.
Good luck!!

It may leak when you don't see and your milk won't come in in a steady flow etc until your lo is coming.

it is normal, one breast will always produce more milk than the other. You will do just fine with breastfeeding cause once you do get started it it will start to produce more and more milk the more your baby boy latch on..

Good LucK!!!
