Either way your fans are what is pulling the air thru your cooler then condenser then radiator. So the air that goes thru your cooler also goes thru your condensor and radiator. i've never heard of another car doing this like yours but if you wanna see if this is the prblem you could temporarily mout your cooler behind your fans (with zip ties or something) and see if it still does it. if it does you know you hve to mount your cooler else where.

Have you tried moving the cooler yet?

I thought that most people mounted them right up against their condensor and that way would really pose a direct heat problem.
I can try tomorrow.
