not uncommon, despite the barrage of idiots telling you it will never happen. If occassionaly, its ok, if regular , it`s a problem.
it is constant, any advice please?

Blocked hot water feed, had work done lately? I thought you were talking about header tank, sorry.
is it constant flow ?
is it when either heating or hw on ?
can be a faulty boiler stat
restriction in the pipework around vent/cold feed.

Why, will that mean vent expels water? Fool.
stick to badly diagnosing boiler faults, don`t pretend to be a heating engineer. Is Cold Fewed & Vent Close Coupled in the airing cupboard,? if so the problem will be a partial blockage between the two pipes, causing the circulating water to expel over the vent and back down the cold feed, you should cut out the pipework around the feed & vent and replace, ignoring this problem will cause excessive corrosion in the system due to oxygenated water

blockage.

It can if the cylinder coil is broken.
As any heatingengineer knows.
The expansion/cold feed pipe would fill tank if coil is leaking, wouldn`t expel from vent as any first year plumbing student knows, keep diggin` that hole.
breakdown monkey, stick with multimeter. leave labour/installs to real Heating Engineers.
