The small key between RH1 and RH2 is the F# key. That should close fully along with RH3 (and RH2) - if it is staying open, then that will ruin your forked F.
If the mechanism has become sluggish and is slow to open, either the oil used has thickened up, the key rod or steel could be bent or has rusted due to lack of oil.
How long ago was your oboe last serviced? and is it a Louis Chelsea or an Italian-built Louis LM5 or similar (as the earlier ring key ones didn't always have a forked F vent)?
