Aircraft
On final; fully configured; First Officer (FO) was Pilot Flying (PF) and Captain was Pilot Monitoring (PM); around 500 feet we received a L HYD QTY EICAS. I checked the status page and observed that the L HYD QTY inducated .4 RF. I announced this said 'continue' and scanned the cockpit and approach. We were stable and I scanned again; noticed .2 RF and on the overhead only the Left RSVR light was illuminated. I told the First Officer to change our briefed runway exit plan and to 'stop straight ahead'.Normal crosswind landing was made in the touchdown zone and we decelerated normally. I announced that I had the Aircraft at taxi speed; noticed that L HYD pressure lights were now illuminated and the PTU was annunciated on EICAS. I still had some nosewheel steering so I cleared runway. I set the parking brake and called for the QRH.While the FO indexed the QRH; I called local maintenance and briefly explained the situation and asked them what they wanted regarding configuring or reconfiguring the Aircraft. They said simply to ensure that the affected HYD pumps were turned off; which we did in accordance with the QRH within 5 minutes of the low pressure lights illuminating. The First Officer guarded ATC while I called station OPS and requested a tug. I made an announcement to the people after informing the purser of the situation. Upon the arrival of the supertug; (we had to monitor that frequency as well as ATC); the driver was concerned because the HYD leak was still evident and emanating from the nosewheel. Eventually; the HAZMAT team arrived maintenance was consulted and we were towed to the gate approximately one hour after landing.

A 757 crew experienced a hydraulic fluid loss on very short final and continued to a landing; but required a tow to arrive at the gate.
