As far as I remember (which could be wrong) it is forward of the starter and slightly higher than the starter. I believe it looks like a big brake bleeder screw-hollow in the center and you loosen it and the fluid comes out of the middle. It may require a hex or "allen" socket be used in the center hole, as there is no hex on the outside of it.

Sign of a bad thermostat is incorrect temp readings, usually too high, but could be too low and gradually increasing to an overheat. Don't just order up a thermostat right away, check things out first.

Try the idle thing I mentioned, (idling with AC on and watch for the fans to run). You could try this after getting up to operating temp, that'd speed things up. Edit: Just because the fans are interconnected (the small belt is OK) doesn't mean the fan motor and fan controller are good, this is a bit of a leap to say you think the fan is OK.
