Red maple not leafing out

Red maple not leafing out

I have a red maple tree that I planted aug 2010 and it was every bit of 15 feet tall when I planted it. So it's been in the ground For about 18 months. This spring it has not leafed out very well. I burried it correctly and have fertilized it each spring. I see some evidence of bug infestation and there is a slimy substance coming from part of the bark that is kind of chewed out. Half of branches have leaves but the other side does not. Is there something I can do to save the tree? If so I want to do it before it gets too hot here in MO. Any help would be appreciated!
