Sticky Leaves, But No "Bugs" on Improved Meyer Lemon

Potted in gritty mix, third winter indoors, lost baby fruit but no leaves when I brought her inside last October. In a bright, SouthEast window, with one lemon ready to pick. Temp between 65 and 70F. Lots of new buds coming, FP on regular watering schedule. Misted erratically, but it looks like i have misted with sugar water! About 1/2 of the leaves are normal. But, many leaves are dotted/splotched with spots and/or dots of sticky substance - some leaves are exuding tiny droplets on the underside of the leaf as well. Otherwise, looks very healthy. I have used a magnifying glass on stems, trunk and leaves and see NO pests. Should I head for the shower, cover the pot, and give her a good rinse; or is something sinister going on?
