What you are seeing is gummosis – it is a gum/sap that oozes in response to injury, whether by insects (peach tree borer), mechanical injury (such as by pruning), winter damage, or virus/disease.
Below are links that will assist you in diagnosing your tree. The Cornell fact sheets will also help you in repairing your split bark.
