Do I have any worry about my Wheat beer made my airlock overflow? should I empty and refill the the airlock?

Buckets have been PBW'd and don't have any smell to them or residue. Time to Starsan and then its a double brew day!! Pretty ambitious for the first brew day in over 3 years, especially with a 9 month old underfoot.

Ok so I am going to try kegging my next batch in a few 5L minikegs and bottling the rest. I need to know opinions on the 5L kegs, on the amount of head space to leave in them and the amount of priming sugar I should use.
