Bleeding oak tree.

Hi all, about a month back I removed several lower limbs from 3 large veteran Oak trees - on one tree only when making the cut and afterwards there was a dark red liquid (almost identical to blood in every way) that came pouring out at first but slowing to a drip.

 

The tree wasn't showing any signs of decay etc but when looking at the cut up limb later on I noticed a dark ring on one of the growth rings (like the symptom of Dutch Elm Disease). Anyone have any idea of what could be causing this?:confused1:

 

Unfortunately I didn't take any images of this at the time:thumbdown:

 

Cheers.
