hot front fender
I left my 94 911 Turbo idling for 20 minutes or so. parked it in the garage, shut it off.
When I went past the drivers side front fender I could feel heat coming off of it. It was almost to hot to touch... i opened the hood expecting to find something burning, but could find no obvious cause. no burnt wires. seemed to be hottest on top about 6" or 8" behind the headlight. Sound like anything anybody has experienced? |

I'm not sure if your car is LHD or RHD (you said driver's side), but the motor's oil lines run down the right side of the car (oil tank side) and then up into the front fender, over the front tire, an then down to the oil cooler in the front bumper (right side). It is normal for this path of the oil lines to get hot.

Feeling better
THANK YOU...
It is a LH drive, I meant to say the passenger side.. the oil cooling lines make sense. I was getting ready to FREAK OUT. |

+1 to Vandit's response: oil cooler gets hot, heats the fender.

Its a good sign actually. It means your thermostat is operating as it should be.
