Slow leak since Synthetic (HELP)

93 9000 CDE Turbo Automatic ....... ever since I changed to synthetic (Mobil One 10-40)I have had a slow and steady oil leak. The source is the oil drain plug itself. I checked, its not cross threaded. and it only leaks when I am parked for a while. Since I live in Phoenix (very hot) I even opted to go to the heavier 15-50 to see if it makes a difference, but to no avail. On the average in the past 3 months I have topped it off twice with a Qt. of oil. My drive way is starting to look like hell and the wife's nagging is making it worse.
Any ideas? Can the washer be the culprit or should I go back to regular oil?
