Should not leak.. if you changed the ATF, you only changed about 33% (App.)
of the fluid the rest is "the old" ATF, keep in mind that the synthetic has
a detergent affect and you are cleaning the inside of your transmission,
drain it, change the fluid (you can add synthetic, but it is a bit of a
risk) and hopefully you will get rid f all the detergent affect.
Your best bet is to go back to std. ATF (since you already have a leak),
more synthetic might be more leaks...
