<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-CA> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-CA>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></SPAN></P>

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><SPAN

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN lang=EN-CA
style='FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Arial",sans-serif; COLOR: black'>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 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>
