If Paul's suggestions don't discover the problem, it may be a case of fingers just not positioning consistently to cover tone holes. A mirror might show this.
Or it **could** be voicing. One way to investigate that is to deliberately try to cause the squeaks by changing your voicing. If you can discover how to repeatedly cause the problem, then you will realize what not to do.
Or, seek out particular contexts where the problem repeats. For example, is it more prevalent when slurring to those notes over the break? Do you get it mostly when articulating? Etc.
Hmm . . . . How in tune are those problem notes? If they're way off, you might be unawarely attempting to correct.
P.s., this may just be me, but I would never think to attribute such symptoms to a barrel, or a mouthpiece either. If I didn't find a leak, I'd assume, strongly, that the problem was something I was doing.
