Old Big Mesquite Tree Oozing Dark Sap

I have a very large and very old mesquite tree. I noticed about 2 feet off the ground in an area where the bark must of been damaged years ago, a large dark oozing sap like liquid. I have heard about slime lux. Someone on this site mentioned installing a plastic or iron drain to drain the sap away from the trunk. Could someone explain how to make this or send a photo?
