Could be a couple of things, mostly paint build up. Check the nozzle cap, just give it a quick once over with a cue tip dipped in airbrush cleaner. If not could be paint build up inside the nozzle where the needle presses against it.

If the airbrush itself all seems good then it could be the compressor, they don’t always like being run for too long in one go as they heat up and some internal parts can start to wear. Doesn’t seem likely though as a compressor problem wouldn’t affect the direction of the spray.

TL;DR Clean, Clean and clean again.
