Flushing down the toilet

Or well, that's what my computer sounds about every 5-10 minutes.

This started roughly one to two days ago. Scared the shit out of me the first time because i thought I got a leak. Checked, no leaks, everything solid. It looks like the loop got enough air bubbles accumulated to make them go down the loop from wherever they sit every 5 minutes or so. My first question is, if I'm not leaking any water, where is the air coming from? :\ I know it goes through the tubes but it can't be going at SUCH a rate (I've only had the system for two months running or so).

My temperatures have not increased, but I'm looking for some options. Is my only true way to get rid of the air bubble to flush the whole system out?

My system was custom built (not a specific kit) and has a d-tek whitewater waterblock, swiftech fill & bleed kit ( I think that might be attributing to the air coming in to the loop), a BIX and a swiftech rev 2 pump

Any help would be appreciated because the flushing noise makes me go mad :confused:

(bad timing, too, because I'm moving houses next week and most of my WCing stuff is packed up, meaning I have to go to home depot to find parts unless they're costy ones)
 
the only thing that I can think is that the system was not bled completely have you tried bleeding the sys again??? that could be the cause of the problem..... you might not have got all the air out of the rad.
 
Why would this start two-three months later?

I've moved the computer plenty before hand and it hasn't caused air to shift
 
A leak doesn't necessarily mean water going out. On the inlet side of the pump, a leak will often suck air in.

If you shut everything off, the leak will probably leak water and be easy to find. Or while it's running you can use a stethoscope to listen for the sound of sucking air.
