Abstract: A left Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set $mathscrE(g)$ such that for every $xinG$ all sufficiently long commutators $[\mathrm{...}[[x,g],g],dots,g]$ belong to $mathscrE(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is a left Engel element precisely when we can choose $mathscrE(g)=1$.) We prove that if a finite group $G$ admits an automorphism $varphi$ of prime order coprime to $|G|$ such that for some positive integer $m$ every element of the centralizer $C_G(varphi)$ has a left Engel sink of cardinality at most $m$, then the index of the second Fitting subgroup $F_2(G)$ is bounded in terms of $m$. A right Engel sink of an element $g$ of a group $G$ is a set $mathscrR(g)$ such that for every $xinG$ all sufficiently long commutators $[\mathrm{...}[[g,x],x],dots,x]$ belong to $mathscrR(g)$. (Thus, $g$ is a right Engel element precisely when we can choose $mathscrR(g)=1$.) We prove that if a finite group $G$ admits an automorphism $varphi$ of prime order coprime to $|G|$ such that for some positive integer $m$ every element of the centralizer $C_G(varphi)$ has a right Engel sink of cardinality at most $m$, then the index of the Fitting subgroup $F_1(G)$ is bounded in terms of $m$.
