hey sarge, sorry for the late response, i just saw the post and your right on the radiator having a leak and sucking air, causing the coolant to foam up, espically if the leak is high enough and on the same side as the radiator cap is, for that is the low presure side of the radiator. that side of the radiator also has the lower radiator hose that goes to the inlet of the water pump. this is espically true if the radiator core is realy pluged and and the water pump is realy sucking hard to pump the coolant through the engine. you could tell real easy by pulling of the radiator cap and with the engine at a fast idle and watch the coolant get sucked down the tank, instead of being pulled through the cores of the radiator and also a bad rad cap and a part. pluged core will do the same, and make the coolant faom up and be sure to have a lower radiator hose on it that has a spring in the hose so it doesn't get sucked shut. after 30 year's of being a car-heavy duty truck mechanic you figure out why it's broke and how to repair it. if i only had that much computer experence, i wouln't be asking all of my laime question's. good luck sarge. i hope that you see this reply from me c-ya slingslingbinks
