One of them is bound to come up!
Actually, it really is unknown if it will leak. Synthetic is a really good cleaner. It cleans out lots of gunk on the seals. In higher mileage engines, that gunk is often between the seal and the sealed parts. Clean it out and you get leaks in some engines. If the engine has had religious oil changes up to this point, it's probably OK. If not...
I'd be concerned at higher milage - but then again, you have a turbo to be concerned about and they aren't cheap. I'd cross my fingers and do it. A little seepage is better than a burned turbo.
