Nah......as long as it isn't touching the LES [the yellow egg] or leading to a wire short, you should be fine....I usually hit run-off with Isopropyl on a Qtip.....You can wipe the LES with a clean Qtip and Isopropyl too fyi....

some thermal paste is electrically conductive. e.g. arctic silver. I use Arctic's ceramique which is not electrically conductive.
like others mentioned the leak is probably not an issue, but it is possible that you have too thick of a layer, which is not optimal. goal is the thinnest layer possible.
If one was to error with either too much or not enough thermal paste, I think you're better to err on the side of too much paste. I've never heard of a cob frying because they had too much paste - I have seen a couple cases where cobs fried because of too little paste resulting in an air pocket behind the cob.
No. You should see the mess they make in factory with thermal compound. I fix a lot of consoles and sometimes it's allover chip and mothrrboard and is a pain to get off of the heatsink.
I knew French liked wine but this? You sure? About 20g of IPA is the lethal dose for human and it doesn't cause similar effects as a̶l̶c̶o̶h̶o̶l̶ ethanol. It just makes one sick.
What does it mean?
Just kidding..
