There is no known bleed port.The foam [frawth]will dissapate. Most of the time you only need to "let it set awhile". Most likely by the time you came in to ask your question the foam trapped in the system has mostly dissapated. by moving the wheel from side to the other side a few times will get all the air out. dont over fill the tank since it will spill out and it needs the extra space. you may have gotten the oil low and need more to stop the foam.

How do you stop the horn blowing on a 1992 Ford Falcon?
I had this on my 1994 Ford Fairmont (Australian) - turns out the horn pad in the center of the steering wheel is heald out from the contacts by some soft foam rubber, which breaks down after a while, so that the contacts are always touching. Step 1. pull the plugs out from the horns themselves to shut the thing up! Step 2. Get a new horn 'pad' (center of steering wheel) to replace the old one. Hope this helps.
