Do I need to bleed my brakes?
Today I opened my hood to check my oil. And the windshield washer fluid line went behind the MC resevor tank and the whole MC brake fluid tank popped off and spelt brake fluid all over the engine bay. I wiped down the spill and hosed the area where the fluid spilled all over onto.
When I put the tank back onto the MC. There was still fluid in the MC to where it was still at the very top of the MC. I filled the tank back up and the brake pedal still is firm and the car still stops like normal.
Should I bleed the brakes?

So it still had a good amount of brake fluid in the reservoir left after it spilled? If yes then I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah it still had a good amount of fluid left. I'm going to drive it around the block a few times and see if any air bubbles got in there.
