Which outcome occurs when hydraulic fluid viscosity decreases within a hydrostatic transmission?

💡 Explanation

Higher temperatures from decreasing viscosity reduce hydraulic fluid's ability to obstruct flow creating pathways through internal components generating increased leakage; this is because viscous drag decreases. Reduced sealing, therefore, results because the Reynolds number becomes too high leading to turbulence; rather than increased thermal efficiency or less cavitation.
