Narrative:
About 30 mins into cruise flight; the left system hydraulic quantity RF was displaced. The value was about .43. Completed procedure in QRH and made the decision to divert to ZZZ for maintenance. Aircraft was well within performance limits for overweight landing. Prior to landing turn left hydraulic pumps back on; quantity continued to decrease to approximately .32 at touchdown. Turned pumps back off. Aircraft landed at 208000 pounds; 125 ft sink rate; normal landing. Emergency equipment was standing by. After clearing runway shut left engine down as a precaution. Taxi to gate under aircraft power.
