2003, 385k miles, EGR and cooler deleted. Last week on my way home I blew a radiator hose, well rubbed a hole in it. Third time doing that from not checking after reinstalling something to make sure it is not rubbing. Anyway, got it fixed at a buddies then drove home 65 miles. Parked it for the weekend. Today I drove it to work, about 65 miles without issue. Went to leave work and my coolant level sensor is on. Filled the coolant and drove home. Mind you it is sub zero right now so I was not concerned about trying to figure out why I was low, kind of figured I had an air bubble that finally released. Stopped to get diesel on my way home and decided to check the coolant. Nothing but foam in the tank. Pressure did not seem to be more than normal when I pop the cap. Checked my oil fill cap and there is no milk looking crap there. Let the engine cool a bit and checked the oil and no milk in the stick either.
I am thinking driving to work it was foamy too and the foam blew out the overflow causing it to be low. But I have no idea. What I am most concerned about right now is what is causing the foaming? I drive 500+ miles to work and back and need this car. I can drive a different car, but will be spending twice as much in fuel. Anyone have some ideas that I can start looking into? Hopefully easy to check items that I can do in this nasty ass weather.
