Blinking Amber light - overheating warning in utility

I have had this problem for over a year now, but have tried the 'ignore it and it will go away' approach with no success. Older versions of the time capsule have bad overheating issues, but mine is just warm to the touch - not iron your clothes hot. I can't hear the fan, but I don't know if that is by design or not - plus I figured it would get a lot hotter if that was the problem. The only solution I have found is to reset the device with the hard reset button in back. That does turn the light green again, but as soon as my my wife tries to print a recipe from online, the light turns blinking amber again. The other problem with the overheating warning state is that it limits multiplayer minecraft games with my son. Still able to stream video to multiple devices without a problem though. I thought about modding the top of the brick with air holes to increase airflow, but wanted to check in with the community before I destroy my device. Thanks.
