Which outcome occurs when a viscous hydraulic fluid heats?

💡 Explanation

Increased temperature in a viscous fluid causes a reduction in its viscosity. This lowers the fluid's resistance to flow through gaps and seals, initiating increased internal leakage, because of decreased intermolecular forces; therefore leakage increases, rather than pressure or other lubrication improvements.
