Sounds like the forked F vent might not be closing, but this isn't easy to adjust unless you know which screws to adjust, as the vent opens when forked F is played (xxx|xox) and is held closed with the middle fingerplate, and when RH finger 3 is lifted it is closed by spring pressure from that fingerplate.
But if the adjustment between RH finger 2 (middle fingerplate) and the F vent is out by being too light, the F vent key (which lies under the RH little finger key cluster, and carries the relevant adjusting screw - the lower of the two, that's only if two are fitted on this vent key) will stay open from Eb downwards. If this adjustment is too heavy, the middle fingerplate won't close, so everything from F downwards will not work.
Or, it could be the adjustment between RH finger 2 and 3 and the F# vent key (the small key between RH fingers 1 and 2) is too heavy, causing either fingerplate 2 or 3 to be held open, or too light and the vent key won't close with either fingerpletes 2 or 3.
It's a pretty complicated part of the oboe to adjust perfectly by someone that doesn't know their way around the mechanism, and probably best not attmpted if you don't know which screw does what, and best to see an oboe specialist to be certain as they should know what they're doing.
