Full synthetic keeps things clean. A high milage engine has "sludge"built up and sometimes that "sludge" is keeping it from leaking. When you put full synthetic into a high milage engine that has always used conventional oil you will have leaks. It isnt that synthetic actually damages the seals.

I and the previous owner of the engine has always used Castrol synthetic 10w30

I am NOT disputing that Synthetic Oils are better for ones engine. I am just saying that if you change your dino oil and filter regularly, you will probably never see any sludge build up on that engine. If it leaks with syn, it will leak with dino(except your engine with "crud" additives or maybe those "hi mileage" oils that are said to swell the seals).
