Question Emergency Landing at Gatwick ZB 534 June 28th

I am not sure if I am posting in the right place but please could someone tell me what was wrong with the starboard engine on a flight I recently took from Manchester to Palma on the 28th of June. The airline was Monarch and the flight number was ZB 534 the kit was a Boeing 757. When we took off there was a real straining noise from the starboard engine, after about 3/4 of an hour the crew announced that we were making an emergency landing at Gatwick...we made a REALLY rapid descent, and the Captain and crew did a wonderful job! When we landed we were followed by various fire trucks etc. On leaving the Plane we noticed the engine canopy up and what looked like dripping oil and paper towels around the engine? We are just interested to find out what happened to the engine. The aircraft was still on the tarmac the next morning, when we continued our journey on another aircraft. Thank you.
