Most likely a blown head gasket. Foam or froth is caused when antifreeze mixes with oil in the crank case. Could also be a leaking radiator if it is a dual engine/transmission coolant system.
Can also be you overfilled it and the crankshaft is making contact with the oil creating a froth of air mixed with oil. Drain the excess out if it is overfull, as this will destroy the engine.

Why it is not advisable to overfill the engine with oil?
If it is high enough to be splashed by the crankshaft it would foam up. That would cause a lack of oil pressure and engine damage.

Can too much oil cause rocker arms to come loose 2010 Corolla?
Well, doubtful. Overfilling can cause oil to foam as the crankshaft whips air into it. Foam can cause hydraulic lifters to operate incorrectly. But you'd have to overfill by several quarts to do that.
Can too much engine oil cause overheating?
Yes it can. To much oil and the crank can turn it into foam. Which will cause a loss of oil pressure. This can lead to engine damage and over heating if you run it long enough.

The foam is atomized oil. Crankcase oil flows with the freon.
If oil is creating foam in gearbox what ig wrong?
There are a couple possibilities for foam in a gearbox. Gear oil is created with an anti-foaming additive in it, so if the fluid starts to break down because of normal wear, then it will start to foam. The solution is easy. Just change the fluid. The second option is that it got water in it, and the water will cause a foam. Also, just change the fluid.
What cause white foam on oil cap of 4 wheeler?
Water is getting into the engine. Change the head gasket before it blows.
What happen if transmission oil is overfull?
I have to assume you are talking about an automatic. But in either type of tranny the fluid will over heat foam up and expand, causing pressure in the trans case which could blow out some of the oil seals. this would cause a major oil leak and reduced life expectancy of the tranny.
Will incorrect timing of a 350 motor cause a valve tick?
No, that's caused by oil problems (sludge, foam, improper oil change schedule) or sometimes just plain engine age.

You have coolant getting mixed in with the oil. The head gasket and intake manifold gasket would be your most likely culprits.
