Default Replace fluid or not??

Evening, Quick question, maybe some of you saw that I had a leak on the top right tail housing bolt of my transmission, it was completely out. It was out for about 3 trips (7 miles a trip) and about 2-3 weeks in total. Would you guys be worried about anything getting in there to change out the fluid or would you just check how much is in there and fill it? I know we have a vent tube so i feel like draining it and filling it because of such would be pointless.

I don't think you have anything to worry about, I would just fill it. The fluid coming out would most likely keep anything from getting in. It couldn't have been much of an opening or the fluid would have poured out.
