Narrative:

On final approach at approximately 500 feet; the relief pilot called out 'left hydraulic quantity EICAS.' moments later; he stated; 'you've got multiple failures happening.' I directed the first officer (first officer) pilot flying (PF) to continue flying and to continue the approach. The relief pilot reached for the checklist and stated that we probably will not have nose wheel steering. I called the tower and told them that we lost our left hydraulic system and will be stopping straight ahead on the runway; then continued my duties as the pilot not flying. On short final; we noticed the flaps had stopped at flaps 25 instead of planned flaps 30; therefore we adjusted our approach for flaps 25. Although a little gusty; with a 5+ knot crosswind; our landing was normal. After manually extended the speed brakes; I took control of the aircraft. I attempted to use the nose wheel steering and found it was indeed inoperative. As the aircraft slowed; I realized I had enough directional control ability through differential braking that we could clear the runway via a high speed taxiway. After clearing the runway; I brought the aircraft to a stop and set the parking brake. Emergency vehicles reported that we continued to leak hydraulic fluid; therefore we shut down the engines and turned off all hydraulic pumps.
