Why Is There Seepage Coming Down From My Oak Tree? Also, Why Is The Bark Coming Off The Base Of My Tree. Photos Are Attached.

This is a type of oak tree that has been serviced fairly regularly and looks to be doing well. However over the last few years the bark has been coming off at it’s base, as well as the seepage running down it’s trunk. I’ve noticed ants and have been treating the tree area. Are these issues from ants? I’m concerned because this is a large tree and want to mainly it’s integrity.
