It looks like a boring insect may have invaded it, which could cause sap. Queen palms also are susceptible to pink rot, so I've given you a link to info about that disease. Ganoderma butt rot is a disease that causes decay of the trunk.

Queen palms need supplemental water applied, so be sure it is getting plenty of water. Palms also are notorious for nutritional deficiencies. Once a plant is stressed, insects and disease can move in.

I suggest calling your local extension agent who can recommend if any new treatments are available.
