This is a tip passed on from Jeff Funderburk.
Lay the tuba in your lap valves down. Take one cup of warm water and pour it into the leadpipe. Set the tuba so the valves are now facing front. Roll the tuba from side to side a few times - first without working the valves, then with - and then clear the water from the horn.
This sometimes takes care of bothersome vavles.
