Breast leak (above nipple?!)

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and noticed small wet patches on my top last night. This morning, my right breast is leaking a yellow tinged liquid from a pore above my nipple (just on the normal breast skin, not areola).
Everything I can find online suggests colostrum, but always in reference to the nipple. Has anyone ever experienced or heard of this from elsewhere on your breast?! I feel like I've randomly sprung a leak.
Seeing the midwife this week so I will also speak to her about it.
Thanks!

Sounds like a third nipple. Very common and often unnoticeable until you’re pregnant!
I once cared for a woman who had a “nipple” under each armpit and those leaking was always for her how she found out she was pregnant!

Oh thank you @MangoAF that is reassuring to know a possible explanation, thank you for replying.
