where do you expect the heat to go? the engine, transmission and exhaust always radiate heat...

Feeling heat beneath your car is absolutely normal. If you smell oil burning on the other hand, that is different. If nothing is leaking, and no lights are coming on, then your car should be fine.

Also if the fans are running you will feel the heat blowing out even more.
