Narrative:

Following a normal approach and landing on runway 25L in lax; I brought the reverser handles back and noticed that the left handle was not going all the way to the stowed position. We were holding short of runway 25R at 'J'. The tower cleared us to cross runway 25R and ground control to gate. I taxied in; single engine; while first officer (first officer) xx_15 described the situation to maintenance. Also; while we were taxing we noticed the level of the left hydraulic system was almost empty. Mechanics showed up to the cockpit and we further briefed them. They suspected a cylinder breaking on reverse activation expelling all the hydraulic fluid from the system. ATC did not make any observations upon landing or taxing into the gate.
