You probably have sludge in you system that has eaten the rad from the inside out

the bubble you can see is the paint being blowwn of the rad by water

the rad is dead and needs replacment, but it may be worth sending a sample of your water off to Fernox or sentinell to see what is in it.

I can tell you from here what is in it. krrapp, corrosion, probably limescale and maybe even acid. Open vent system by any chance?
