HPLC pressure increasing

Hi,

Usually I had pressure on 40 bar (+/- 2). But, recently I forced with a problem of pressure increasing after 20 minutes the pressure increasing up to 55 and then decrease. We analyze mixture of oil and phosphatides .it occurs in both cases injection of a sample and blank. Have you ever forced with such a problem? What could be the reason ?
