Your pin oak may be dripping sap due to a few reasons, such as stress from environmental factors like drought or excessive heat, which can cause the tree to produce more sap. Additionally, damage from pests, like aphids or borers, can lead to sap exudation as the tree reacts to injury. Fungal infections or diseases may also contribute to this phenomenon. If the dripping sap is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms, it might be worth consulting an arborist for further evaluation.

To prevent excessive sap dripping from tree branches, you can prune the branches during the dormant season, avoid causing wounds to the tree, and ensure proper tree health through regular watering and fertilization.
Foaming from an oak tree when it rains could be caused by a mix of rainwater and sap dripping from insect feeding sites or damage to the tree's bark. The foam is likely due to a chemical reaction between the sap and rainwater, creating a bubbly, soapy appearance. It does not harm the tree but may indicate an underlying issue like insect infestation or disease.
