Which outcome results when lubricant viscosity diminishes within a hydraulic actuator?

💡 Explanation

Increased internal leakage occurs because diminished viscosity lowers resistance to flow. This increases the flow through internal clearances via viscous drag, therefore increasing leakage rate under pressure, rather than maintaining sealing effectiveness under hydraulic load.
