Is my red oak dying?

Question

All the leaves on my red oak turned brown and most of them have fallen off. Today I noticed that the trunk of the tree is turning a greenish color, and that there is stuff oozing out, some is white and foamy and some is green. Is this bad? Will my tree survive?

Answer 1

Sounds like it might be slime flux or wet wood disease, which is common in oaks.  Here's a link so you can check it out.
