does the noise go away when you add fluid? if the fluid level keeps going down you have a leak. it has to go somewhere. you may have to pt the car on a lift, fill the system first than start the car and move the steering wheel left %26amp; right to put a load on the pump while someone looks for the leak. if you have rack and pinon steering it may be leaking into the rack boots and they are full of fluid so look there also
replace the steering pump, as far as the foam in the power steering fluid you have air in the system,,, make sure the cap is on tight be cause it may also be your problem as to why you are low/ air in system
You need to bleed the p/s system after you find and repair the leak.
