Should be fine: It is not uncommon to have a little oozing or clear to blood-tinged fluid coming from the catheter insertion sites. Watch for spreading bruising, an expanding knot, or numbness or severe pain in the leg.

Call your doctor : If you are oozing blood, apply pressure to the site. I suggest calling your doctor.
