They do test for leaks and it will give you a positive or negative. It has shown though through people using these that they arnet always all that accurate. For the most part women get positives when really they arnet at risk for this issue.

Yes, the usual way to test for an amniotic fluid leak is to put a ph trip in your panties and the color will tell you if you're leaking fluid.
