I guess I should have said this is when running, not when off.

Coils do run warm. Too much heat means a shorted winding, loss of oil (they usually are filled with oil), or metal particles in the oil (from a shorted winding).
How hot is too hot?
Good question...
Twins make it easy to compare and diagnose. Wish I had better info.
