The first problem is to find the damage. As jdbassplayer described, you have to first systematically locate where the clarinet stops sounding and look for a leak in that area. If it is a bent key or a pad cup moved out of place, the bent metal has to be gently moved back where it belongs. This isn't something you should do with typical household repair pliers. Too much pressure, or even gentle pressure in the wrong place can make the part irreparable so you'll need to get it replaced.
Beware: I have a table lamp that I made out of the clarinet that I played in junior high. After I got my first R13 in high school, I used the old clarinet as my own repair-practice victim. I wasn't very good.
If you've never watched a skilled repair person work on your clarinets, that's the place to start.
