OK, I'm an idiot. I'm just glad I can count on only one hand the number of things that went wrong with my attempted Motive Pressure Bleeder assisted brake flush today. Fortunately, I think everything turned out OK although I'm not going to test the brakes until tomorrow when it's light out.
At any rate, I had a little bit of fluid left over when I was finished with (tired of) the brakes so I figured I'd suck some fluid out of the clutch reservoir and replenish it with new fluid. My shakey computer scientist hands, however, mixed with my relatively large bore turkey baster combined to cause the few ounces of DOT3 I had sucked out to spill next to the clutch reservoir.
I wiped up what I could with a shop towel and poured some water where it spilled to try to flush it out. But, being a cramped engine bay some fluid is probably still sitting there against the inner fender or on some wiring harness.
How bad is this? I know brake fluid isn't good stuff but I really don't want to start tearing stuff out just to wipe it up if it's not going to cause any harm.
