You can feel heat escaping through the opening. The cvt cover is noticeably cooler to the touch. The inside of that cover is like the interior of a oven. Anything you can do to allow heat to escape isn't a bad thing. The fan on the outer variator pulley is not that effective. It probably serve better as a heat sink to dissipate heat off the pulley more than it moves air. I'm using a computer fan and shroud to blow air across my oil cooler. I'm planning, at some point, to fashion something using the same type fan to pump fresh air into the cvt cover
