Narrative:
Loss of hydraulic quantity: approximately 1:40 hours into [the] flight we received an 'right hydraulic qty' EICAS alert. Quantity showed .48 and continued to slowly decrease over the next hour. Went to the appropriate QRH checklist: only says 'quantity is low.' after consultation with [operations] and [maintenance control] decided it was fine to continue to destination. When right hydraulic system quantity got down to .07; we executed the 'loss of system pressure' checklist; before the low pressure EICAS message appeared; in order to preclude any overheat damage to the hydraulic pumps. This was also coordinated with [maintenance control]. Flight was continued to destination for an uneventful landing and taxi to the gate. Maintenance met the aircraft and confirmed hydraulic fluid streaming aft on right wing.
