What is wrong with my car if it spits and sputters when turned off after a long drive and is leaking a little water on the ground?
This is because your vehicle's engine is almost at the highest operating temperature as you drove a long drive and you may have shut the engine down without letting it to cool for a minute or two. here what happens is your engine is hot and the heat is exchanged through the radiator to atmosphere when you stop the engine it does not do as it runs. the stored heat energy in the engine rises the temperature and boils coolant when you shut the engine off immediately after a long drive. this habit is especially not good for some of the engine parts such as turbocharger, oil seals and rubber gaskets. I guess this is your case as i guess all other parts of your engine works perfectly.

Possibly as an engine aquires miles oil consumption rises. Depending on how and where you drive would determine this also. Hard driving and mountains will increase oil consumption as well as leaking gaskets which are also common in a high milage engine. At least you are keeping an eye on this as some don't.

What happens to the efficiency of a heat engine when the temperature of the reservoir into which heat energy is rejected is lower?
Efficiency would increase.
What does a cooling fan do in a car?
Automobile cooling fan can cool the automobile engine when the temperature of the automobile engine rises, ensure the normal operation of the engine and protect related parts, and reduce automobile failures. If the car cooling fan is not used, after the engine is started, the temperature of the engine rises during the driving of the car, which may easily cause the car to malfunction and even cause the car to spontaneously ignite.The above answer is provided by Suzhou Santian Precision Mould Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
