    Promote Corrosion: Water and acids corrode metal surfaces.
    Reduce Lubrication Efficiency: Contaminants alter oil properties.
    Prevention strategies:

    Seal Integrity: Ensuring seals prevent ingress.
    Filtration Systems: Using high-efficiency filters.
    Proper Handling: Avoiding contamination during oil transfer.
    Regular Monitoring: Detecting contamination early through oil analysis.
