Narrative:
In cruise at FL310 with autopilot 2 engaged; I noticed a flashing hydraulic 2 level one alert. We had a level 1 hydraulic 2 off. The system qty was 2.7. The captain gave me the aircraft and radios while we reviewed the hydraulic off and fail checklists. The captain made a satcom call to [dispatch/maintenance control] and they concurred that we were okay to continue to destination. Over the next 3 hours; the qty decreased to 0. At top of descent; the captain took over as pilot flying. We configured early and landed in ZZZZ without any issues. The hydraulic system developed a leak and shut down at 2.5. Over the next 4 hours it slowly decreased to 0 and a system fail annunciated.
