I would still bleed them out. It'll only cost you MAYBE a quarter-liter of fluid, and I bet that when you do bleed them, the first spurt of fluid coming out of the calipers is closer to black than that beautiful liquid gold color... The steam may have condensed back into liquid form and been absorbed by the fluid, but it's still in there (closed system!) just waiting to flash into steam again. Once you boil them, the fluid is contaminated and needs to be flushed out. Think 4-6 brake pumps per caliper, start right-rear, then left-rear, then right-front, and finish up on left-front. That's working from the furthest to the nearest, and is the "proper" sequence.

I will, just need to pick up some fluid, cupboards are bare at the moment.
