Can anyone tell me why my antifreeze woudl have the consistency of a fresh cappucino in the resevoir? It's been this way for quite some time - never seems to be much of a problem, just that every 6 months or so my low coolant light flashes at me. I top her off an dI'm good to go. Foamy antifreeze seems wrong though, so any suggestions woudl be great.

My 97 does that, and maybe twice a year it throws up onto the pavement a couple of cups of coolant a few minutes after I've shut it down.
I assume it's those pellets causing the color and foam.
dont know about the newer vehicles but in older cars when teh antifreeze foamed it was due to cavitation in the water pump.. and that was caused by either too hot condition(overheat) or low antifreeze condition.
