Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Clear non smelling liquid at 40 weeks of pregnancy it is necessary to rule out leak of amniotic fluid. Because if the membranes around the baby have ruptured there will be a leak, and it may necessitate induction of labour and delivery. As you have already crossed 40 weeks this should not be a concern.
You need to go to a doctor/midwife to know if the neck of the womb has opened or still closed and if a leak is present. This will need a internal examination. You could go into labour any time.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
