According to <http://www.pbfixit.com/Guide/33.0.0.html>, your model
appears to have two fans, but I don't know whether the right one sucks or
blows. If you follow the take-apart directions there under "Fan," you
should see immediately whether there's anything blocking the right fan,
which is directly behind the DVD drive.
