Mobil 1 causing seal leaks???

My 4 Cyl 2000 model Gary Fisher wagon had the turbo replaced under warranty at about 42k miles for "underage smoking". In order to prevent this in the future I was thinking of switching to Mobil 1. My mechanic says it could cause leaks in the seals (pan, etc., you know, the kind that drip on the driveway) Am currently using the Saab (I guess it is a semi-synthetic) oil, and changing it between 3 and 4k miles. Anyone have experience with Mobil 1 causing leaks and drips that weren't there before? And what about the quality of the Saab oil. Is it adequate if changed frequently? My mechanic wants me to go to Valvoline petroleum-based oil. Comments?
I know there's been a lot of discussion about oil, but I've read many of the posts and haven't seen a specific answer to this.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.
