First Officer reported loss of Hydraulic System 1 on approach. The flight crew requested priority handling and continued to the destination airport.

Narrative

Upon descent into ZZZ the HYD 1 LO QTY Advisory message appeared on the EICAS. The FO (First Officer) was the PF (Pilot Flying); and the CA (Captain) was the PM (Pilot Monitoring) at the time. As the CA ran the QRH; he observed the pressure dropping; followed by the EICAS Caution message HYD SYS 1 FAIL. The CA ran the QRH; was unable to recover hyd sys 1 with the pump on; and instructed the PF to slow to below 250. The CA complied with and confirmed the QRH with the FO. Once the flight crew had requested priority handling (due to degraded braking and loss of nose wheel steering); notified the FA (Flight Attendant) and the Passengers; and notified the company via ACARS; they swapped roles; with the CA as the PF and the FO as the PM (due to FO actuating the Free Fall Lever for gear extension; and also a concurrent NAV 2 failure). The crew also tried to get hold of Operations for a tow but was unable. The CA had to hand fly the approach - Visual Runway XX- because the AP did not capture. After landing the Flight Crew stopped on the runway; the CA made his remain seated announcement; and the crew coordinated with Tower; getting an exterior inspection and a tow back to the ramp. At the gate; the Flight Crew noted fluid leaking from the nose gear compartment.
