My indoor olive tree has a droplet of something at the end of each leaf can you tell me what it is?

Sometimes also caused by slight overfertilization: it's one way that plants get rid of excess potash.

What you both have related is that plants have both respiratory and renal functions. This makes me feel more kindred to them:)

Welcome to GoY.
if it happens even more after watering it is sap or exudate and nothing to worry about.
as gases are exchanged from the leaf water vapour is also released, just like when we breathe, and it slowly builds up and depending on the shape of the leaf it can collect at the tips of the leaves.
the droplet can contain sugars too.
