Frothy Oil

I know nearly all of us who hang on this board are pretty in tuned with the workings of our engines so I thought I'd post this here: My 85 SPG's oil is extremely frothy on the dipstick when I pull it out, almost like the consistency of Starbuck's whipped cream. THeres little bubbles all beat into the oil. Walter Wong told me oil pick-up tube o-ring (which I did not replace when I replaced the pistons last spring break) but I was just checking to se if any of you have seen this and if anything else was the culprit.
This may or may not be related but when I noticed the frothy oil a few days ago, I also get a pretty good oil leak from the front of the engine (firewall end) looks like its coming from the main seal around the harmonic balancer, but could possibly be the top of the oil pump housing, oil pump o-ring maybe?
Thanks,
Happy holidays!
Drew
