2nd Octave A not sounding properly

Author: ceri

I picked my oboe up from a full service last week. Yesterday I noticed that the second octave A is not sounding properly - it has a sort of quiet whistly noise in the background (not gurgly as it was before the service when it often got water in the hole but as if the sound is slightly veiled if that makes sense).

The B and the C are sounding normally and so is the A an octave below.

Any suggestions anyone as to why and what I can do about it?

(And I can't take it back to Howarth who serviced it as I am no longer in the same country).
