Hi,

Right side Vent is for the Engine Bay Cooling Fan, Fan is actuated when engine bay temp exceeds 185°F, below this threshold, it provides passive ventilation. Left side is the intake for the engine, it looks blocked because there is a baffle inside to deflect any water which may enter the vent to avoid Hydro-locking the motor. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
