Default Small oil leak

I recently had a Fuel Moto 107" and heads installed (it's unreal but that's another story) and after completing the break-in and going back to synthetic I now have a small oil leak. I get two drops over the course of an hour after riding then it stops. Never did it on the mineral oil for the last 1000 miles. Would it leak easier due to the viscosity of the synthetic and is it an issue I should be worried about?

Are you sure its not just residual oil from doing the change?

Also not to change the subject did you do the FM 107 yourself, how unreal is it, and what cams did you go with?

Thanks

Yes I'm sure as I rode through one hell of a rain storm two days ago and it still did it.

My local indy installed it. Went with the TW-888 cams. Pulls hard all the way past 100mph. Just got back from a 1000 mile 3 day tour yesterday and it runs like a dream.
