What you are seeing is gummosis – it is a gum/sap that oozes in response to injury, whether by insects (such as the peach tree borer), mechanical injury (such as by poor pruning – did you prune your tree recently?), winter damage, or virus/disease.

Below are links that will assist you in diagnosing your tree.
