The cause is a leak, somewhere. It could be because you have knocked a key out of alignment, or just poor adjustment.
The most likely cause is that the G# pad or F# (the key between G# and F) is not fully closing. For diagnosis, get a second person to squeeze these shut while you play the notes from F down.
Likewise check that alternate F# key with the key cup behind the instrument.
They could also try squeezing all of the keys further up the instrument. Diagnosis only!
Technicians use a small bulb inside the instrument to find where light leaks out. A "leak light".
If you want a heap more information on any repair topic, see the repair section at saxontheweb.net
Use that forum's search facility, or just ask.
It will tell you how to make or buy a leak light if you feel so inclined.

I think there are two probable causes. One is what Micron said. Another is one I have had occasionally. It is that the octave key doesn't completely come down on the hole at the top of the neck after you push the G key down.

yeah micron is probably right. if you have been playing with the octave key part it might have bent and would cause a leak of air. Which would make your notes higher. Or it could be that you'r reed alignment is off.

I was just giving a specific example to look for.
