I worry whenever I hear black smoke. Do compression test. Engine compression tester is about 15 bucks. Froth in oil is disturbing. Is there pressure build-up in the radiator fluid reservoir?
Also, rarely, and with slightly different symptoms, a turbo can cause black smoke.
I feel for you bro'. I went through this with my convertible, but when I bought the car I knew the engine was suspect and I had another one in the shed. I hope it is the gasket, but I suspect omminous stuff.
Best of luck. Keep us informed.
