If you're using the same twice as if it was two tables, you should give this second instance of the table a different alias. If I understood well,

select * from leads ;
{left/full/right} join leads on Leads.iSourceKey=Source.iSourcePrimaryKey;
... join NOTES on Leads.iNoteKey = Notes.iNotePrimaryKey ;
... join source s2 on S2.iNoteKey = Notes.iNotePrimaryKey
