Problems over the entire length of the instrument have a cumulative effect as the tube gets longer, so the long fingerings will be most affected by small leaks farther up. Does the same happen with B4 (long B)? If leaks are the problem, they'll be more likely to cause problems with reeds that are a little unstable to begin with. Another possibility is that you're reacting to the higher resistance of the long fingerings by squeezing your embouchure a little when you start those notes.

Why wonder if leaks could be the cause? Get the clarinet checked by a good repair person and then you'll know.
