Fluctuating water pressure - water sprays from air valve when I check pressure

My water pressure is fluctuating and my pump is cycling on and off with the pressure gauge reading 50+ - it never drops just cycles the pump. When I apply my pressure gauge to the valve I get water spray from the valve.

Does this water spray point to a particular problem?

It could indicate that the tank is bad, you shouldn't be getting water out of the shrader valve
