These things can be a knightmare at times. Some types of syphons i.e the bit you are screwing the button onto can be height adjusted. I remember having a bit of trouble with one of these and it turned out that the syphon was set too low. Try adjusting the height either up or down. Might...

If you have an indirect cylinder which is heated from a seperate boiler, it could be that the coil in your cylider has rusted and there is now a hole allowing the water which goes through your boiler finding its way into your cylinder.
