Abstract: A hydraulic machine has a first assembly and a second assembly movable in rotation relative to each other about an axis of rotation. The first assembly and the second assembly define an internal volume and are in contact along an interface. The interface between the first assembly and the second assembly is provided with a sealing element positioned in a housing connected to the internal volume via a first duct, and to the surrounding environment via a second duct. The first duct is provided with a sealing element adapted to isolate the housing from the internal volume, where a secondary cavity is formed in the first assembly or in the second assembly. The secondary cavity is connected to the housing and isolated from the internal volume.
