I wanted to rotate the rear shock res line so it would mount up correctly. but when i loosed it a little bit of fluid came out. not alot but enough that i noticed it. is this bad? will it affect the way the shock performs. i wont be able to ride my 450 for another week or two thats why im asking.

This is not a good thing. You should never loosen the banjo bolts on a shock they are pressurized and you will loose fluid. This can really alter the performance of a shock depending on how much has leaked out.
