I would guess you need to replace the OPV valve. After several years of use we noticed strange pressure happenings and swapping out the entire OPV valve unit fixed it. We got the replacement from WLL, just give them a call. As an FYI we have an early original Brewtus, so there were 3 tubes running to my reservoir. If this is your case the new OPV valve setup has two of the return tubes sliced together so you will only have two tubes running to your reservoir after replacement.
