Pretty well all our gate posts on this place are old sleepers or telegraph poles. This tar leeching to the surface will go on for ever. We have one particular telegraph pole gate post where the top starts to bleed tar this time of year in a place that's easily touched. I heard the Mrs grumble the other day and she went looking for white spirit.
As said by others either turn around or replace. Ours happens to be the top of a 4ft post where it wicks up to the surface so I think I'll make it a traditional tin hat before the complaints come rolling in again this summer.
