    Yeah that is normal, because that is where the battery is on the MacBook. Don't worry about it :).

    The battery is along the front left portion of the MB while the MagSafe adapter is in the back left corner.

    The area near the MagSafe adapter is warm on mine too.

    The battery area needs to not be that warm, that means degradation of battery life which = bad.
