Which outcome reduces hydraulic pump efficiency when lubricating oil viscosity abruptly decreases?

💡 Explanation

Internal leakage occurs because the lower viscosity of the hydraulic oil reduces its resistance to flow through internal clearances, therefore leakage increases, rather than decreased cavitation risk or more uniformity, which would require different mechanisms.
