Hi there
I would say you need to do a hydracarbon test on your radiator
it takes less than 5 mins and will tell you if you have blown your head gasket
the theory behind this is that if the head gasket is blown from the cooling system and one of the cylinders
it will cause the coolant to react in this manner
get it checked soon before the head cracks as this will cost you alot more than this tester
check with your local motor store for a rad sniff tester or ebay
