However, the hot coolant from the engine first travels to the right radiator, then moves to the left radiator, before returning to the engine. Therefore, in your case, I suspect the right radiator is venting more heat than the left radiator.
Miqueas, Also exhaust is on right side. You don't have a hole in your exhaust blowing hot exhaust on you do you? Or is the clamp right by the heat shield loose and allowing exhaust to blow on your leg? Don't have mine yet , but looking at other's pictures that could be a source for heat.
You mention getting a lot of "wind " on the right side as soon as you start it. Is the right side radiator fan coming on as soon as you start it? As for the "vapor" are you loosing coolant from a loose radiator cap or hose clamp ? Just thinking out loud here. Let us know what you find.
