Hello GTAM,
well after installing the pads and the clean up and all. The brake fluid level is a little bit higher than prior to replacing the pads. Before the pads replacement the fluid was sitting at middle now it's at 3 quarters up. Do i need to let it bleed or is it gonna go back to its original level after some time.

If it isn't over full don't worry but it does give you an excuse to spend 10min and bleed them/install fresh fluid.
 
Hi recce this is normal ,as your pads wear the piston comes out using more fluid to fill the caliper piston
when new pads go in compress piston to allow space to reinstall the caliper on the rotor and all that fluid goes back up to reservoir.
So no worries as long as the level is not above the upper fill line you're good

Sweet thanks manni. It's very close to the upper line but not touching it.
