Narrative:

While climbing out at about FL200 we got 'hydraulic right quantity lo' alert followed by a rapid decrease of fluid level from the right hydraulic tank to 0.0. We followed QRH procedures including emergency gear extension. Aircraft was stopped on the runway and we had maintenance tow us to the gate. According to maintenance after landing; fluid leaked out from a swivel joint in the nose gear wheel well.
