Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Help! Sick oak trees, 1 by kiwigal

I posted a while back about my oak tree which we thought had been struck by lightening. Boy was I wrong. The crack in the trunk is still there, the black in the trunk is still there, but now there's a big place about 3' higher up the trunk that looks all wet and gooey and has been leaking something. Could it be wetwood?

Also, the other oak tree has these leaves that look very weird. The veins are yellow and very swollen, the leaves are all sucked dry. Some of the leaves have little webs on the end.

Any help in diagnosing and treating these problems will be very much appreciated.
Thanks, Lesley
