Default Clutch cable adjustment

Good day all this is a rookie question.
I was moving my handlebars and I loosened my clutch cable slightly to give myself some extra wiggle room a little bit of hydraulic fluid came out. I have a feeling that's not really a big deal I don't think air would have gotten in there. If so what would I do and will it cause any damage?
Thanks in advance
C

If your hydraulic clutch still functions properly , your good move on .

If it works, it’s fine. If it isn’t disengaging enough…then it needs to be bled. And based upon your demonstration, it’s best done at your dealer.

Meaning no offense, but perhaps you might start by learning the difference between a cable and a hydraulic line. Don't sweat the rookie thing, everybody was on at one time.
