When practitioners say they are treating "x" in your case leukorrhea and then say they need to "start a treatment for x" I get confused. Acupuncture does not treat "conditions" - properly applied you find one pattern (or multiple patterns in some cases) that are driving the symptoms/conditions and you treat that and only that. In other words, in this case you resolve the damp heat (which can end up as leukorrhea, pcos, and any number of other condtiions) and all of the symptoms/conditions should resolve appropriately.
Generally the points that are appropriate for dampness related diabetes are a good start to devising an overall solution. If you look those over and those on the acupuncture for leukorrhea sheet you should be able to come up with a good protocol.

Hi Nilesh,
Based off of the information provided I am taking a guess and saying she has Spleen and Kidney Qi deficiency with damp heat retention.
Acupuncture points I would do:
SP9, ST40, SP6, Ren4, Ren6, ST25, ST36, LU7, KD3
Lifestyle adjustments:
Women with PCOS have a strong sensativity to sugary foods that increases insulin. I would recommend avoiding processed foods, and carbs in general. Of course avoid damp forming foods, and heat foods.
It will be very important for her to track her Basal Body Temperature to find out how long her follicular phases/ovulation/luteal phases are. This will provide extremely important information for you as the practicioner.
Herbs:
I would modify Ping Wei San
Hope this gives you another point of view!
