Have you looked down inside bonnet. From what I remember there are several pipes and joints in that area. Is one pipe/joint spraying something out onto inner surface? FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Check all your coolant, oil, levels. - Radiator Expansion Tank and various pipes to and from Front Radiator's are in the area.
Check heating/cooling work and engine temperature on test run.
Is there any loss of performance or noise when accelerating.

LATER NOTE
I have just checked my FL2 after a (very) short run.
Slight warmth blown out at bonnet join.
Checked inside - Header Tank is moderately warm, but underlying pipe work cold or only luke-warm.
Steering Fluid Container warm.
No excessive heat. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
