Message they leak past old seals where dino oil did not. However, sometimes over time
the synthetic can return the pliability to the old seals and then they seal up the
leak.

Synthetic is definitely better in the long run for turbo life, so you might try
running the synthetic a bit longer to see if the leak subsides. However, if the
smoke is really annoying then you might try switching to a synthetic blend to
see if that helps. Otherwise you'll probably have to go back to the dino oil.
