Narrative:

While cruising at 7000' MSL, #2 engine T5 went to 0, followed by fluctuations in #2 engine oil pressure. Engine seemed to be operating normally. Captain declared a precautionary situation and we decided to divert to dab. On final I noticed fuel leaking from #2 engine, at which time we shut down #2 engine and declared an emergency. After landing, we evacuated all passenger from aircraft.
