Narrative:
Climbing thru 10000 ft there was a power drop on #2 engine. I initially thought an eec was failing but no indication. Shortly after, oil pressure was dropping off and eventually went to 0. Performed precautionary engine shutdown, declared emergency. Informed company and ATC, informed flight attendant and passenger. Made single engine approach and landing at mco runway 36R uneventfully. Everything went well. Rescue vehicles met us and performed a courtesy look around and followed us to gate at mco. Maintenance came to aircraft and found broken oil line on rear of engine.
