There is no magic time. Some mares may start to drip in the last month or so. But usually once the mare starts to drip or 'wax up' birth will follow with in 24 to 48 hours. If you notice that she is losing too much milk you should contact your vet. She may run out of colostrum before the birth and it is vital that the foal gets colotrum.*
*Interesting fact:There is a window of oppotunity for the foal to get the colostrum. If he does not get the colostrum within 18 hours or so his GI tract will not absorb it which will greatly diminish his chance of survival.
