When I turn on the shower, not the tub in my guest bath, I can hear bubbles in the line. This doesn't cause any spit or sputter at the shower head and goes away after just a few seconds of water running. Any help would be greatly appreciated

It may simply be water filling the line up to the shower head.

That's what it sounds like. My concern is I've lived in the home for 5 yrs and it just started several months ago.

The "line to the shower head" should not be empty.

Is it possible its only leaking out above the mixing valve?

It sounds like you may have a shower/tub valve and not just a shower valve. If that is the case, when you release the water to come out of the spout with the little handle on the end of the spout, water would drain down from the shower head into the bath tub. If it sounds different than it used to then something is partially blocking the line from getting full flow. Just an educated guess... But there are other ways of getting air into your water system. Check with your water provider about air in your lines from the street.
