Dutchy,
I play on a plastic top-joint oboe at the moment, and I had chronic water in the octave problems as well. I started doing the following which fixed the problem:

1. Made sure I warmed it up for 5 minutes before playing. Yes, 5 whole minutes.
2. Took off the octave keys, used compressed air to spray into the holes.
3. Took a feather, soaked it in alcohol, and swabbed out the inside of the bore. Let it dry.
4. Took a can of woodwind all and sprayed the heck out of the bore (all the fingers closed). I also sprayed it into the bore and then opened only one octave vent at a time and blew through, so that the woodwind all wood go up through the octave vent. Then I took woodwind all and sprayed it from the vent, going down into the bore. I then sucked it through (and yes, you do get a bit of the nasty chemical in your mouth, but since I desperately wanted to clear up my octaves, I as willing to do it) and then sprayed the octave key pads. Then I let it dry for 24 hours and came back to it and the problem was fixed!

One other note from Mr. Weber, he insists using a swab increases flooding and suggests using a feather only when you're swabbing and playing more. He only suggests using a swab when one is completely finished playing for the time being.
