heat from the floor??? 84 300td wagon w123

[bro frank]

i've noticed that the drivers side is much warmer in my car than the passenger side. i have heat on my legs and feet all the time. if i ride with a window and or the sun roof open i can feel the hot air flowing up my chest. the back of my steering wheel will get warm to the touch.

seems to be coming mostly from the left side of the car.

i've never seen anything under there that would produce that much heat.

i did notice that all the panels were well insulated but i figured that that was for sound.

where is all this heat coming from?

some times on a hot sunny day the heat from the floor will al but negate the cold from the ac on the drivers side while the passengers will be cold.

any ideas?

could it be coming from the enigine compartment?
