If the oscillator is oscillating in an undesired mode, then it is likely
that the mode suppression network
(C5, C6 L2, L3 in the schematic) in the oscillator has a faulty
component or maybe a dry joint.
It probably worthwhile to check all the frequency determining components
in the oscillator at the same time.
You'll need to disassemble the oscillator to check.
