Which risk increases when lubricating oil viscosity degrades inside a hydraulic actuator?

💡 Explanation

Increased internal leakage occurs because reduced viscosity leads to lower fluid resistance through internal clearances; this follows Stoke's Law. Therefore leakage increases, rather than resonance changes or bulk modulus reductions which depend on different fluid properties.
