I have a 1981 Toyota P/U with a 22r. The truck is totally stock, nothing other than what came with the truck from Japan. I am very habitaul about checking my vital fuilds. In the process of dayily driving I have noticed a light colored foam or froth on my oil dipstick, about four inches above the full line. It feels and smells like oil. The oil on the bottom part of the dipstick looks normal(clear, fresh smell). Could this foam be a little water in my oil? I have been losing coolant from hoses here and there. I have tried all most everything(execpt pay a pro) to seal this leak up. About four months ago I changed the water pump and termostat. The old pump had failed. Where could oil be leaking into the motor oil? Is there anyone who has dealt with this lately? 22R veterans?
