When is a stream most likely to deposit the rock and soil that its carrying?
It will start to deposit it's load when the gradient starts to become shallower which will cause a decrease in energy and so a reduction in ability to transport sediment load.
What cause wind to deposit sand or other sediments?

What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77

Why does gravity cause layers of sediment to be horizontal?
As more sediment is added, it is compressed and hardens into rock layers.
You found the drain plug but no coolant is coming out of the car?
Assuming there is coolant in the engine the most likely cause is a build up of sediment behind the coolant drain or in the coolant drain tap itself.
