Leakage in the valves will cause some deterioration in the sound quality (generally as a lack of resonance-see my original post) or the intonation and response, but not a buzz. The problems caused by valve leaking can go unnoticed by many players because the changes in the way the instrument reacts because of the leakage can be very subtle.
