Which mechanism diminishes hydraulic pump efficiency as oil heats?

💡 Explanation

Viscosity reduction causes increased internal leakage through clearances; this fluid-flow arises because temperature rises, driving kinematic viscosity down which decreases the *volumetric efficiency*. This is true rather than other thermal failure modes that depend more on mechanical tolerances.
