Narrative:

Noticed oil quantity in right engine close to zero. Accompanying oil temperature above red line. Accomplished abnormal procedure and shut down engine. Declared emergency and diverted. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter says they were fortunate to note the loss and high temperature prior to a complete loss of oil. Oil pressure remained up with the engine windmilling for the approach and arrival. Contract maintenance at the diversion station indicated that the problem was probably a rear seal leak. Oil was found leaking from the tailpipe area.
