I have a shut of valve that has built up a bunch of blueand white gunk around the neck of the shut off handle. Is this something that can be cleaned off or is this a sign that it should be changed very soon?

That sounds like mineral deposits from a very slow leak around the valve stem. The water is evaporating about as fast as it oozes out, so you don't see the leak.
