Narrative:
Encounter at 30;000 feet we received a 'C hydraulic qty' EICAS message. Center hydraulic quantity was at 0.48 and decreasing. Contacted flight control and decided to divert. We decided to try to land while we still had center hydraulic pressure. We kept our speed up and received an artr (amended release to read) for change of destination. It began to appear that we would not land prior to losing all center hydraulic fluid; so we descended about 50 NM early and extended the landing gear with 0.13 in the center reservoir. The gear extended normally; but when we selected flaps 1 we lost all center hydraulic pressure. We followed aom procedures for lost C hydraulic pressure; [advised ATC] and landed. We had a 757 captain jump seating with us and we use him to aid the first officer (first officer) as pm (pilot monitoring) in executing the non-normal checklist and procedures.

Title: B767 Captain reported hydraulic system malfunction during cruise.
Narrative: Encounter at 30;000 feet we received a 'C HYD QTY' EICAS message. Center hydraulic quantity was at 0.48 and decreasing. Contacted Flight Control and decided to divert. We decided to try to land while we still had center hydraulic pressure. We kept our speed up and received an ARTR (Amended Release to Read) for change of destination. It began to appear that we would not land prior to losing all center hydraulic fluid; so we descended about 50 NM early and extended the landing gear with 0.13 in the center reservoir. The gear extended normally; but when we selected Flaps 1 we lost all center hydraulic pressure. We followed AOM procedures for lost C HYD pressure; [advised ATC] and landed. We had a 757 Captain jump seating with us and we use him to aid the FO (First Officer) as PM (Pilot Monitoring) in executing the non-normal checklist and procedures.
