THE TRUNK HAS leaking sap. The leaves turned brown and shriveled in the heat

From you description I suspect that your Cassia tree has a condition known as “alchoholic flux” as a result of the heat and drought stress. See the following article for more information:

There are other possibilities, especially if the exudation is associated with a wound or cavity.
