air vent spits water since install of new boiler

Hello,
Since my new boiler was installed (same size and company as old boiler) one of my radiators (not all) spits a lot of dirty water out of the air vent making a mess. Besides the new boiler nothing else has changed. It is spitting out of the air hole on the vent not the threads. I have tried:
1) changing the air vent but still the same problem.
2) increasing the pitch of the radiator (although pitch wasn't a problem prior to install of new boiler)
I have 3 radiators in my apartment and this is the only one that does it. It also takes the longest to heat up. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Gregg
