just noticed that the left rear coil of my range gets noticeably hot when the oven is on. the other coils remain luke warm to the touch. is this something i should worry about?

Mines the same except the right one.
It's an oven vent. You can probably see it under that burner

You’ll probably notice the oven has a heat vent under that burner.

didnt know that was a thing. i was always under the impression that ovens were supposed to keep as much heat inside as possible. is it for excess steam?

Yep, otherwise your oven would steam everything instead of baking it.

That's a feature if it's under the burner. I always put the plate of pancakes there to keep them warm while I'm still cooking the rest.

Yeah its the oven vent, I let my plastic electric kettle on the burner while I was slow cooking a roast and it was melted when I came back from work.
