Default 80 model ps pump temperature ?

Just wondering- what is the operating temperature of the ps fluid at the pscv - oil into the pscv ? I'm asking b/c upon installing the fluid to a dry pump, started the engine and within 5-7 minutes run time the oil to the pscv line is ~ 110-120 degrees. Too hot to touch !
Is this normal?
