Ejaculate containing sperm should look opaque white, so I don't think it sounds like sperm. It could be very dilute urine that appeared clear, or it may be saliva if he was licking his penis and prepuce. If he is urinating normally and seems to be acting like his usual self I would not be concerned. You should monitor for any wet areas on his bedding or other discharge from his penis and contact your veterinarian if you see these signs.
