According to http://www.suddenoakdeath.org, no.

Thanks David. My tree is exhibiting symptions that are very very
similar, i.e. it has a bleeding canker spot at the base of the tree and
leaves that are wilting from the canopy down. My local botanical gdns
has a 2 hour / week free advice session with a horticulturist, so I'll
check it with him. It's very sad to move into a property with
intentions of planting trees and end up having to take an old oak down.
A step in the wrong direction.
