<DIV>I was sure I was going to be the first one to have a leak free Healey when
I rebuilt my engine/transmission in 2004. It was leak free for the first
year or so, but, after that I have the usual drips. I keep a piece of
cardboard under the car to keep track of the leaks. I assume that age and
use just opens up the leaks over time.</DIV>

your observations are a factor. Here are some comments from an article about
synthetic oil leaks:</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Synthetic oil WILL NOT cause leaks. It may however make
already worn-out gaskets/seals more evident, by leaking past them, and/or
cleaning any sludge and other gunk that was sealing the existing leak. This is
because Synthetic oil has much better cleaning properties, flows much better
than conventional oil, and hence also lubricates much better than conventional
oil (This is a good thing).<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial",sans-serif; COLOR: blue'>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 and 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.</SPAN><o:p></o:p></P>

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 are smaller than the
non-synthetic oil molecules? Given that the "holes" come 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? <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
