Both my 900 and my Golf developed leaks after changing from mineral multigrade to synthetic at 45,000 and 85,000 miles respectively. Nothing too serious, but affects distributors in both cars and makes a stain on the side of the block. No drips from cars on to ground though so leaks are minor. Lost an engine in my Rover after the crankshaft oil seal blew out twice after changing to synthetic. Saab and VW seem to be more durable.
