for the sake of a tenner I would give a dose of K-Seal a go, at least it might buy you some time until you can get the job done properly.
Its good stuff.....

i have noted a foam forming on the top of the expansion tanks water a thin film type, but with the rad cap off their is definalty foam being created from somewhere not a lot mind but they are along the same time as the larger bubbles
the first pipe to get warm is the flow pipe into the engine (lower pipe) with the top radiator paipe staying cold, then the heater matrix heats up both pipes and then the top pipe heats up slowly if thid makes sence
right now when it comes to running of the car it dont seem any different to when i first bought it but this could have been happening then and this is the first 4x4 i have owned as such
the exhaust is a little bit sooty but not wet at all and no splatters on the road
