Oozing from your socket is normal for days after the extraction. You will taste blood on your tongue and its not nice however it should NOT be bleeding in a noticeable quantity as such. If you have visible red fresh blood building up in your mouth then you must bite down on damp gauze for 20 Min's and call your dentist but oozing and drooling saliva with blood is normal.

Yep, that's normal. I was bleeding for about three days and had swelling for a week.
