Vega, the latex that bleeds from a Ficus is white. It only comes from an injured place, removed leaf, cut branch etc. I see viable leaves and quite a few green buds forming that means new leaf growth. The clear in your pictures looks like it has just been watered ? If not water droplets I have no idea and I have kept Ficus for 30+ years. It looks healthy, either its been defoliated or it suffered some stress like an environment change, either way it looks like its coming back.
