Do synthetics leak more than petroleum oil?

No, synthetics are not any more prone to leaking than petroleum oils. There is a myth that synthetics are thinner, but an oil that is classified as 10W-40 is the same "thickness" whether it is synthetic or petroleum. This myth originates from the fact that synthetics do not thicken up as fast in the extreme cold range, below zero degrees. Where a petroleum based oil will begin to "gel" up, the synthetic will maintain pourability for a much greater range.
