John,

At what hight on the trunk does this occur ? Depending on this, it could be caused by rhizomorphs of a parasitic Armillaria (mellea/ostoyae) invading the cambium and blocking the energy and water and/or nutrients transport, or by the mycelium of Inonotus hispidus active in the starch rich radial rays.

By looking at the bark, I assume we're dealing with a Platanus species and not with an Acer species, as is shown in the link. Confusion about what a sycamore is ?

John,

That would indicate, (rhizomorphs of) Armillaria might be active. And for identifying Phytophthora as the cause of a bleeding canker, microscopical research and evidence is needed.
