Narrative:
In cruise, had a slow leak develop in B system. Performed loss of B procedure as precaution because the low level light was on. Approach control gave us 300 ft 'refill,' but we requested, if available, we would like the east side which in fact we got. Landed on runway 17C, and taxied to gate without incident.
