because your radiator water is leaking into your oil somewhere, could be a head gasket or a crack in the cylinder block between the water jackets & oil jackets, check out your radiator water condition chances are you will also have "foaming" there as well, the "foaming occures because oil & water doesnt mix & when you heat up the two liquids togather you will get a foam reaction as the water absorbs more heat than the oil therefor there is a difference in the tempretures between the two liquids in the same container.

What would cause foam to be in oil?
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.
