I agree with Jdbassplayer.
But if you want the learning experience of trying to fix it, try this. (It's almost definitely a leak somewhere.) Start with throat Bb and go down the chromatic scale very slllowwwlly. See what is the first note that you have trouble with. The problem will likely be located at approximately the same height as the last hole you closed.
Another trick is to take one joint at a time, cover all the holes and the end, and see/hear/feel where the air exits.
One of these methods should tell you where the problem is. If you're really lucky, there will be a particle wedged between the pad and the hole. But it's more likely a bent key, best repaired by a good tech. If you're really determined to do it yourself, remove the key and gradually bend it to shape.
