When your coolant looks brown in color this means that you have got oil in your cooling system. This is not good, you could have a cracked head gasket or a crack in the block somewhere that is letting oil escape into the cooling system. The foam at the top of the radiator happens when the oil mixes with the coolant and then runs through the water pump. Hope this helps.

My 1990 Nissan maxima will not shift out of first and will not go into reverse plus the fluid looks like milk?

The transmission fluid cooled by routing it through the radiator. The fluid probably is a milky color because the radiator had failed internally allowing the coolant and transmission fluid to mix. Check the coolant and if looks milky change the radiator, coolant, and transmission fluid.
