I grease tenon corks every time I assemble my clarinet.
As Karl said, you may be worried about issues that are insignificant or even non-existent.
If you have a teacher, see if he/she can assist you to check your instrument.
Since you are not a professional player, you probably would not have experience and knowledge needed to check a clarinet thoroughly- which is why I would look for someone else who has such experience to help me.
In addition, I have seen 2 clarinets that were "serviced" by a supposedly "very good" tech and both times the job was not done right.
One of them belonges to a techer who did not know what was wrong, except that "it was difficult to blow". In fact, the upper joint was leaking from all pads. I re-padded the joint and she felt improvement immediately. But by herself she did not know how to check suction...
