Narrative:
On climb out; received a rud full press caution light. We both looked at the hydraulic quantity. It looked to be around 2-3 quarts and falling on the #2 hydraulics. As we continued the climb; the rud full press extinguished and we only had a #2 iso valve caution light with a little less than a quart left. Captain ran the emergency checklist for that light and we got vectors back. Captain informed dispatch; the flight attendant; and the passengers. We transferred controls; called operations; did the manual gear extension and landed ... Fairly uneventfully.
