CREW CONTINUED TO MONITOR GAUGE AND APPROXIMATELY 30 MINS LATER, OIL PRESSURE BEGAN TO DROP AND RT OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.  CREW FOLLOWED CHECKLIST AND SECURED NR 2 ENGINE, DECLARED AND EMERGENCY AND DIVERTED ACFT WHERE THE ACFT LANDED SAFELY. PRELIMINARY TROUBLESHOOTING INVESTIGATION CONFIRMED A MAJOR OIL LEAK.
