Is there an equal amount of airflow coming from each fan? If so, then there is likely not much wrong with the situation, since there are likely internal parts (like a video card) that is generating more heat in one location.

Even then, can't hurt to closely inspect for dust buildup, especially inside. Use a good flashlight and if you see a buildup, give it a good shot with canned air or the equiv. I once had a laptop, that required bi-monthly cleaning of one of the fans on the bottom, to deal with the massive dust that would collect on the components inside.
