So I figured I will do a fuse pull after mine clutch experience yesterday and I noticed that the engine is extremely hot when I opened the hood..
Touching the engine cover and OEM CAI Intake cover felt very hot to the touch.
I checked the gauges inside the vehicle but nothing shows out of the norm.
Oh, I looked the for break fluid reservoir, there is none :(

Yellowrs,

Kidding aside, I think I may know what the issue is you are experiencing.

Yes, just about everything under the hood will be pretty hot to the touch after driving

Yes, there is a brake fluid reservoir

In my next life I want to be an Auto Mechanic!
Perhaps I am just paranoid but gee I felt like Niki Lauda after i opened that hood.

I installed a flux capacitor to combat this issue. Only seems to work for a few minutes after I hit 88 though. Whole damn car is cold after that.

Totally out of plutonium though. Who's got a hook up?
