I think you will get a consensus here that the valve and hoses need to be changed. The radiator too. If the former fail you will have a catastrophic failure of the cooling system, and engine damage could be far along before you even see any steam. I would bet that when you change the hoses they crumble in your hands. I never had mine fail while driving, but they were 'toast' when I got around to changing them. When the radiator fails you might be able to pull over and call for help. The radiator is really, really easy to change.
