I asked my mechanic the same question when I was pondering the conversion and he replied that if I switched back to dino oil right away, the leaking caused by the synthetic oil *should* stop.

When I switched from dino to synthetic in my '89 300E last year, I had no leaks. My brother has a '77 280E and he recently switched as well, with no problems. From what I have heard it is basically a gamble, although the odds seem to be on your side. Good luck!
