Introduction to Hydraulic Pressure Loss in Aircraft Maintenance Hydraulic pressure loss is not always the result of a visible leak. In aircraft hydraulic systems, pressure can deteriorate because of internal bypass, worn pump components, leaking actuator seals, control valve faults, accumulator problems, fluid aeration or excessive system temperature. Identifying the actual source requires more than simply checking the pressure gauge. For aircraft maintenance and MRO engineer
