The Boeing 747-400 aircraft, operating as KLM685, was enroute when the crew noticed that the hydraulic fluid level in the #4 system was decreasing. The crew secured the #4 system and selected the #1 system, followed by the #2 system. They observed that fluid levels in these systems were also starting to decrease when selected. The crew then declared a PAN-PAN-PAN and requested a clearance for a diversion to Goose Bay. The aircraft was cleared as requested and landed in Goose Bay without further incident. Maintenance found a fractured brake line on one of the main landing gear. The hydraulic reservoirs for the #1,2 & 4 systems were still approximately half full when the aircraft landed. The #3 system reservoir, which is isolated from the brake system, was still full.
