I assumed the fan was moving much faster than other times probably because the engine heated up, but when I touched under the hood towards where the engine is located, it was weirdly cool and not as hot as I had suspected. INFACT, it was when I touched near my fan in the front, it was much hotter than the other surfaces on my hood, plus it was extremely loud.

So has this happened to anyone else before? Should I be worried about some part(s) not functioning as they should be? Could this be due to driving in sport mode (I accelerated and decelerrated perhaps way too much causing stress on the engine?) But I assume this car was built to handle that?

Also, my AC wasn't on, if that has to do with anything.

Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!
Cars just cooling down, its completely normal
