if the car is leaking any kind of oil, will it leak regardless of it running or not?

Hii there, i hit a big stone on a freeway, and i am worried that might cause a leak in the car... i think i saw few drops of black oil, but i placed a newspaper under it for an hour now and i dont see it dripping. i even wiped the front part of the car and there is no leak... my question is if the car is leaking, would it leak regardless of running or at park right?

It all depends on how big the leak is where the leak is etc.I would get under the car and see first hand what got damaged.
