    Some plants go into shock when they are repotted. It sounds like yours has. Make sure that the drainage is good in the new pot and provide a little fertilizer. If you give it good care, it should come out of shock and recover.

    This is a sign of a pest infestation, either aphids or scale. The "water" is actually honeydew that is being secreted by the pests. Treat teh plant with a pesticide.
