Narrative:

Airlines flight lax to mia, mar/tue/95, departing lax runway 25R, XA30 local. I was the flight engineer. During the takeoff climb at approximately 800 ft AGL, lax tower notified us that our #2 engine was smoking. We discovered a loss of hydraulic fluid in the #2 engine. We circled and ran the appropriate procedures, loss of hydraulic quantity, #2 engine. We then notified maintenance and dispatch and elected to continue to mia. My recommendation was that I felt the prudent thing to do was to land at lax and let maintenance solve the irregularity. The captain elected not to land and continued to mia. No further complications arose.
