Give it a wipe and forget about it.

Wash off with water...

More importantly how'd the brake fluid get on the tyre? Hope you haven't got a leak at the caliper or something because taking a wheel off doesn't usually cause a fluid leak.

Well spotted!

Yes, exactly how did you get brake fluid on the wheel when simply removing it?

the disk is a little worn so undid the bleed screw to make it easier to spread the pads apart to get them off the disk[probly didnt need to i know]and fluid leaked from hose i had on the outlet so no leak in the caliper cheers anyway
