Topped up my (pretty new) Fox 34s yesterday and on removing the pump there was a small amount of blue fluid in and around the valve. Should I be worried? Cheers.

Nope, it usual for a bit of the float fluid to blow out the air valve, especially if you've had them upside down.

Only joking 😆
they are not really buggered

When the oil changes color cos its mixed with the oil that used to reside in your lower legs.... that's when you know they are buggered.

But Id say you have at least a couple of weeks before this happens 🙂

@ndthornton, are they still doing that? I know I had that problem with my 2011 floats but Fox fixed that by adding another wiper seal to the air piston.
