Problems switching from conventional to synthetic blend oil for 1995 Toyota Avalon?

Dear Scotty,

My old-as-the-hills but runs-like-a-clock '95 Toyota Avalon with 195,000 miles has always had conventional oil but I'm having a hard time finding a garage in my area that has conventional oil, just synthetic blend.

The valve cover gaskets leak a tiny tiny amount and there's some oil buildup on the bottom of the engine but no oil ever drips to the ground from the engine anywhere. If I switch to synthetic blend could it make valve cover or other slight leaks worse, enough for oil to drip to the floor? Thanks!

It is possible but you never know. If you can not find the conventional oil, just use the semi-synthetic.
