Question

I have a question regarding discharge. Many times during the day i get a lot of discharge. Besides mazi and the other two fluids this seems just like a plain discharge which is usually white or clear. Whenever its yellow i make sure to clean it off and pray. Usually when i pray my salah and i check after there is some discharge most of time either on my undergarment or on my body (white and clear)i Firstly i want to ask what is the ruling regarding this? Does it break my wudhu? Do i have to clean it off my body? When is my salat invalid and that i have to repeat it? - the discharge happens very often, somtimes it comes out even 2 rakahs Please help me with this jazakallah khair.
