If this is not the case, you should consult a specialist for a clinical examination and he'll ask for blood tests, and treatment should be adjusted accordingly.

As Dr mona mentioned after stopping breastfeeding you can still find milk leakage from the breasts especially if you are squeezing them often the process will take more time .
-if your leakage is only in one breast and you feel that the secretion is coming out without touching the breast that would be abnormal ,does your breast feel tender or sore or swollen do you have pain this can be mastitis or inflammation of the breasts and need to be treated by antibiotic cream and /or oral depending on the severity
the condition you described is called galactorrhea it may have these causes :
-might be if you have a thyroid problem it will affect your prolactin level and you will see some milk leakage present like in hypothyroidism
-if there is high prolactin in blood or hyperprolactimia you can see this presentation and you may have beside irregular menses
-some medications may have side effects such as some hormones and psychotropic drugs
-Some herbs, such as anise and fennel
to know the exact cause check with your gynocologist for physical examonation and tests to diagnose and give treatment depending on the cause
