well if the foam looks liek chocolate milk then you have water in the oil, which isnt cool. a few things that would cause that are cracks in the head/block, bad head gasket, bad intake gasket, or some other internal breakage. good luck!
PS dont run the motor like that, cause if your bearings arent already trashed you definately will kill them

If the motor ran at all, the bearings are no good. This happened to me last year. Motor had only a few minutes (3-4) of run time. I got a pin hole in the block. Water came out the dipstick tube! When I broke the motor down, the bearings were all ready "streaked". I am sure that if I had just fixed the problem and ran the motor again, the bearings would have failed in short order.
