It shouldn't be a problem. If it was dripping and you stopped the drip, it may have just been dirt or corrosion on the seal.

Personally, I wouldn't worry about it. If it makes you feel better, get the new valve and take it with you. Then if it is a problem you have the replacement.

Enjoy your trip.
