Just got back from a ride, 4th ride on new bike and noticed the rear shock has some weird goo on it. Any ideas people??

Looks like the seals have gone. You need to buy a Fox Service Kit: http://www.jejamescycles.co.uk/float-shock-air-seal-kit-ref-id66305.html?gclid=CI6-u_mzmMsCFWLnwgodrMQBHQ

If its a reasonably new bike then I'd just keep an eye on it. All the Fox shocks I've had have leaked a bit of blue goo (Fox Float suspension fluid) during the first month of riding and after a service and I've been assured its normal.
Just seen that it's a new bike so probably too soon for a shock service. Agree with Devash that Fox shocks can leak a little in use.
It's probably cuckoo spit
