your steering pump is shot.
if you crawl under the car or able to get a flashlight and look at your pump, try to view the back side (the opposite side of the pulley wheel)
you will see the housing of the pump wet from leaking fluid. there is litterly a hole that sits just out of view which is pointing toward the motor.
it will leak fluid all down the lower power-steering hose which makes one think that has a hole also, and then drip fluid onto the steering rack,
which makes it look like the steering rack is shot and last but not lest will drip fluid into you exhaust muffler creating smoke when you stop at a red light or a drive through.
the pump will suck in air through this hole creating the foam in your fluid.
replace the pump before the rack, i did not have this fancy info when what is happening to you had happened to me, and i replaced the steering rack first only to find out my problem originated at the pump.
look carefully at the pump, if you see it is 100% dry from fluid i suppose the rack obtain a hole which gets air into you system.
but don't fool yourself.
have fun with the hunt.
