Is it safe if the engine number is leaked?

It is not safe. With the engine number, license plate number, and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), one can query traffic violation records. If combined with the car relocation phone number, it may lead to illegal activities. It is recommended to remove the relocation phone number when not necessary. Automobile Engine Number: Similar to a car's VIN, the engine number is unique. Different manufacturers may have varying formats and contents for engine numbers. Generally, it includes the engine model, production date, and a randomly assigned serial number when the engine comes off the production line. Some may also include a place-of-origin code (though only the manufacturer understands this code), as long as the engine is produced according to the brand's standards. Function of the Engine Number: The engine is the core component of a car, functioning like the human brain or a computer's CPU. Every vehicle has its own unique engine number, much like a human's ID number.
