Which outcome occurs when hydraulic fluid viscosity decreases within a pump?

💡 Explanation

Increased internal leakage occurs from reduced viscosity. Reduced viscosity decreases the fluid's resistance to flow leading to higher leak rates across clearances because viscous drag minimizes flow, therefore internal leakage increases rather than lubrication or pressure improvements.
