I don't think it's too much to worry about. Could be too much or too little water, (us newcomers are very good at over watering) You could move the light up a few inches, it's not going to hurt, and will rule out bulb heat. What's the general temperature? Humidity?
And that's me out of ideas! Get more opinions; what do I know? ;-);-);-)

temp is 77oF,
Have not yet to come by a humidity meter!
another thing is the water in the reservoir is heating up quite a bit!
Maybe that cold be a problem?

Yep, the water heating up is a problem! Get your temperature down and she should recover quite speedily.
(Neglected watering with mine the other day, got very droopy, but recovered in a few hours)

I would try and move the light up a little. It's really close for seedlings, and it's heating your water up.

as for cooling your unit, I would use a small pc fan or desk fan or something to get air flow moving in there, it should lover the temp. At least has for me
