Are there some little white things along with the sap? I can't quite tell from the picture. If there are, it's probably mealybug, and well worth treating. Another possibility is mites, which you might not see...
Either way, I'd probably isolate it for a while to see what happens. My favorite treatment for mites, mealies and scale is to mix isopropyl alcohol and water half and half and add a little surfactant (read: Ivory liquid). I wipe the underside of the leaves gently but thoroughly to remove any adults, and then spray the upper and undersides of the leaves until they are well soaked. Some spray will get into the medium, too. That's good. I repeat the spraying 4-5 times, 2 days apart.
