I think this sounds more like the vacuum breaker on the steam boiler, not the OPV. The breaker closes as the boiler comes up to pressure, and it opens when the boiler cools. It builds up some scale and causes a leak and the noise you describe, though usually it's more constant. It's a piece of cake to remove it and clean off the minerals. tx, bmc "Faith will move mountains, but you'd better bring a shovel....."
