If the collision is not severe enough to touch the engine, the forces involved will most likely not damage it. It's what happens afterwards that you have to worry about. If it was driven for a short time after the collision, it is possible that the oil cooler and radiator were damaged and leaking, possibly overheating and/or oil starving the engine.
