Why does coolant leak after running your engine but not while driving?

A coolant leak while the engine is running is likely in the water return hoses. The vehicle can be standing still and in park, but with the engine running the fluids are still being pushed through the system to keep the engine cool. The water return lines generally run from the top left of the radiator when you are standing at the front of the car looking at the engine. Any leak in that system will likely not continue once the engine is stopped as the fluid no longer is pushed through the system.

Why is my radiator fan running continusly on mercedes E200 2000 model?
The radiator fan is designed to run continuously while the engine is running so that the temperature of the coolant can be lowered. The coolant is continuously run through the engine, collecting engine heat and dispersing it over the radiator fins; while the fan blows the fins and cooling off the coolant before recirculating back through the engine in a continuous cycle.

What would be the cause of air coming from the engine while driving?
The engine running will cause air to come out of a running engine. The Internal combustion engine sucks in air, mixes it with fuel, ignites it, and then blows the resulting gasses out. Also the fan in front of the radiator moves alot of air. So unless you are coasting down a hill with the engine off, it's supposed to be blowing air while you are driving.

The engine blows. Usually pistons shoot into the engine. In most cases the engine will have to be replaced.
Will a broken coolant seal cause a car to jump while driving?
Depending on how far along the engine is before it totally seizes up. Coolant loss = engine overheating= internal components expanding beyond tolerances= seizing up= new motor.
