Dunno what you mean by a "bottle vent" If you mean an "automatic air vent" it has a float inside that opens to let any air present out. Probably just got a bit of shit on the valve seat. Dismantle and clean up, likely it will be OK.
If you are having hydrogen gas production this needs to be checked out. Not all inhibitor are the same. There are special (expensive) ones for systems with aluminium components (boiler).
You may have a sacrificial anode somewhere that has corroded away (as they are meant to). Usually in the boiler. This would need replacing if it is the case.
As the sacrificial anode corrodes, gas is produced but you need to be sure the gas is coming from the anode and not your boiler
