الفرق بين المني والمذي والودي
I know what the first one is and have a good idea what the second two are but am not sure of the proper english term. It is the title of a document explaining how to clean after these three events

ejacuate, pre-ejaculate, and discharge
Explanation:
Although you didn't ask about the first term, it is often translated as semen or sometimes sperm. This can present problems if you are dealing with a fiqh text, since such texts also mention women having مني .
Nuh Ha Mim Keller in his translation of Relience of the Traveller (A Shafi'i Book of Islamic Jurisprudence) uses the following:

المني : Male sperm and female sexual fluid
For the other two terms, he transliterates them and in the index lists them as (non-sperm male discharge).
