Car is getting hot to touch

Hi!
Lately, I've noticed that the right font end of the car, (above the headlights) is feeling hot to touch after a drive.

I beleive the radiator is located there, and hence the tempreture (left side doesnt feel that hot), however, is it normal to feel that hot?
guess i'm wondering if this is normal, and if there is anything I can check before visiting my P-dealer?

I'm driving `01 996 C4 .

thanks!

check ur coolant level. it's on the driver side in engine bay. look for condensation where it's hot to see if there is a leak in coolant (doubt it). Monitor the temp gauge
