frostyjohn.

This could be because the area is becomes saturated with the stuff. This is very unhealthy.

Can you take a picture of the secretions as they come out of the gum tissue and bring it with you to the ENT?

Another thing that comes to my mind.... do not express the area the day of your appointment. Perhaps you could suggest that the ENT express it and take a sample to send to the pathologist. This would tell the species of bacteria, etc. Actually, your oral surgeons should probably have done this. But the ENT can do it too.
