"Happy sap" on stems not a problem, but lots of small bits on the underside of the leaf, maybe a problem...
Those many little drops of sap may be the sign of spider mites... they take little, tiny bites out of the leaf so the sap leaks out. Eventually the leaf gets a silvery appearance from all of the tiny pits. They destroy slowly but they destroy. And they are almost microscopic - you may be able to see them with a hand lens. I'd suggest spraying the undersides of the leaves with soapy water (drown them)... repeat in a week and a week after that. You can search the Board for "spider mites" or "spidermites" for more suggestions.
