Harold,
It is possible to have a leak free Austin-Healey, once the oil has all drai=
ned out!!!!!!!

Hello,
All of your observations are a factor. Here are some comments from an artic=
le about synthetic oil leaks:
Synthetic oil WILL NOT cause leaks. It may however make already worn-out ga=
skets/seals more evident, by leaking past them, and/or cleaning any sludge =
and other gunk that was sealing the existing leak. This is because Syntheti=
c oil has much better cleaning properties, flows much better than conventio=
nal oil, and hence also lubricates much better than conventional oil (This =
is a good thing).
I use a GL-4 synthetic gear oil in my transmission and it leaks. Believe it=
not not one of the leak mechanisms is from the interior along the bolts an=
d drips from the bolt head on the exterior. I am changing the gaskets on my=
transmission and trying bonded sealing neoprene washers on the fasteners.
I may be pursuing the impossible dream of a leak free Healey.... Harold

I am not a leak expert, but I find this hard to understand. For there to be=
a leak there has to be a hole. Is it because the synthetic oil molecules a=
re smaller than the non-synthetic oil molecules? Given that the "holes" com=
e in different sizes this seems illogical. Is it because the synthetic oil =
is more slippery? How is that measured? How much more slippery is it?

The biggest difference you will notice with synthetic gear oils is they lea=
k
more than non-synthetic.
