Which outcome occurs when lubricating oil viscosity declines excessively within an axial piston pump's hydrostatic bearings?

💡 Explanation

Increased internal leakage and slippage occurs because degraded oil leads to reduced **viscosity lubrication**, diminishing hydrostatic bearing support; therefore, leakage results in power loss, rather than more efficient operation or enhanced failure prevention, because optimized performance requires specific oil parameters.
