I certainly agree that if an engine is leaking with conventional oil, it will continue leak with synthetic oil. However I have never had an engine develop a NEW leak as a result of switching to synthetic oil. There is a lot of anecdotal information to the contrary, but in my experience, no leaks. I have switched to synthetics in the following vintage Ford engines over the years: 200 ci I-6, 260, 289, 390, 427, & 428 V-8's. Also have used synthetics in my SVT Focus & Taurus, Karmann Ghia, Triumph TR-4 & Spitfire, & Jaguar XKE.
