    Because air is mixed in with the fluid. There is not a concern.

    I’m no pro,

    I agree with yelcab, however I See from prior posts you have a 360.

    How did/does the transaxle fluid look?
    Was there a gear oil aroma to the coolant?

    I have found cheaper coolants foam easily and the better brands do not. I don't know why, but I stay away from the ones that foam easily.
