I've never bothered to do such a thing. The air flows up hill right out
into
the reservoir, no problem. And a little extra flushing the system is no
problem... By the way, the clutch is really self bleeding because its
all
up hill for the air.
Any drips are a REAL problem to the paint, I wouldn't risk it.
