Air in resevoir? (bubbles/Foaming)

I have a SP3200 that goes up normal, but when it comes down the oil level rises, due to the bubbles/foaming of it, and after a few times up and down it starts to seep out the breather on top of the reservoir. i've changed many things such as the oil filter and check valve the hose that runs to the manifold from the oil filter. i also bleed out the three pistons and there was no air in them. i looked in the manual and it states if there is introduction of air, to check reservoir oil level, check for proper oil viscosity ,check pluming.
the oil level was good. im not sure how to check viscosity or what the pluming is. any ideas? thank you in advance.

Hi,
Have you changed the hydraulic oil recently ?
What oil does it have in the system ?
Does the mast lower at a normal speed or very fast ?
Give me some answers and I'll try to help.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
