RE: synthetic and conventional oil question

["Fry, Larry" <LEF@chem-tronics.com>]

Aaron-
  Well, yes, you are right.  Sort of.  See, if it wasn't leaking (before the
synthetic started running out) then it wasn't a leak.  It was a potential
leak.  And potential leaks are..well, we can't worry about them too much.
:)  Follow?   Oh, just forget I said anything...I think I'm being anal
again.....

Is it switching that actually causes the leaks?  I thought it was just that
the synthetics seem to have an easier time "finding" your leaks, so they
tend to leak more.  Smaller molecules, maybe?
