Why on earth do you think it's colostrum? (Colostrum is produced after childbirth.)

Did you taste both liquids?
What does your doctor say?

Your mother is no longer leaking colostrum. That would have been available only in the very, very beginning after the baby's birth.
What color is the liquid that's coming out of you?

You need to see a doctor.
You need to have your hormone levels checked, and possibly a breast exam. You may have an increased level of the hormone called prolactin.
How old are you? Have you noticed any breast lumps during your monthly self breast exams?
