Well the syn oil is a little thinner and leak easier. So if the seals are marginal it may leak with the syn. Rear crank seal leak? That is unusual. How many miles on the engine?

I assume you are using Mobil 1 syn? I think it is the most compatable with the rubber gaskets.

Also, driving the piss out your SVX will make it run hotter and cause the seals to leak.
