If you watered it not too long ago, could be guttation! Basically plant sweat or the plant absorbing so much water it's cells burst at the seams.

It's a natural response it's called guttation the plant is just expelling access water, but don't be alarmed I doesn't nessisarally mean your over watering. It's a natural response

I agree it’s a natural response to excess water in the plant. The leaf edges and tips are built to release this excess moisture. No cells burst during this process. Edema is the separate process where cells swell and burst.

It could just be water if you watered it on the top
