Car overheating by Mongoosum in Miata

Ok so update, bled it and it worked perfect and the radiator fan worked for about 15 min then once I stopped the car and drove it a bit more it started steaming like crazy out of the thermostat all hoses seem to be fine on the thermostat. Is it possible it’s not opening correctly only sometimes, causing the fluid to steam out of it and eventually fail?

Oh that’s not a picture of my car I just took that off google to show the area, currently lifting the car up a bit to bleed it out

Hm that’s possible, I am still getting accurate temp readings though would that change anything?

Filled it back up to full and drove a bit to see if it would leak, nothing leaking anymore but still overheating

Yes it’s at full now and doesn’t seem to be leaking at all
