Re: synthetic oil in an old motor?
Changing to a synthetic can't "cause" leaks but, they can appear after the change. The better cleaners in the synthetics will clean the sludge from the inside of an engine revealing very small cracks in gaskets & seals. The smaller molecules of the synthetics also fit through these small cracks much easier.
I'm not a scientist but, this is the only explanation I've found for why some engins leak after the change and others are fine.
