Default Clutch bleeding

So I know there are a lot of post on this, but i couldnt find this. Im worried that in bleeding the clutch fluid, the fluid will drain onto the clutch and cause further problems. Is this something to worry about, or should I just ignore it?
Thanks For Your Time

you will be fine! that is why there is a hole on the bottom of the bellhousing so it drains out! you can speend up the process by spraying brake cleaner in there

If you're really worried about it, just pull the master and bench bleed it. Putting the master back in is the worst part, but pulling it and bleeding it take very little time. And with a bench bleed, you can't go wrong.
