Before doing anything, make sure the coolant isn't mixing with the engine oil.

As far as the thermostat, follow the upper radiator hose back to the engine It will lead you to the t-stat housing. I would recommend when you drain the coolant, flush the radiator and the engine block at the same time.

Let me know if you have other questions.
