98 mazda overheating
My wife was driving her car last night and said she noticed that the needle was all the way to the (H) on the temp guage. She said she turned on the air (I think), maybe the heat, and the temp went back down. I ran the engine for a good 20 minutes a little while ago and the temp stayed in the normal range. I opened the hood and it was wet below the coolant tank like something sprayed out, but the radiator is still full. I am thinking thermostat, but I want to get some ideas before I begin. Thanks.

I would put in a new thermostat as soon as possible. It most likely will solve the problem; and, since the vehicle is old, it will need one anyway -- you'll be doing preventative maintenance even if it doesn't solve this problem.
