My grapefruit tree is oozing out orangey sap from the trunk and some branches.  The sap turns a crystalized almond color when it falls off.  

We have lived here twelve years and this has never happened.  I don't know the age of the tree.  

Otherwise, the tree has new growth and seems to be healthy.  This has been happening for a few months now.

Could you tell me what this might be.
