You can start by checking your coolant level. You can also start by replacing the hosing that goes from your filler neck to overflow bottle, and buy yourself a mazda OEM pressure cap from the dealer.
Also there should be a black shroud that covers the bottom of the engine, its made of plastic and it helps with air circulation to the radiator.

Finally, try searching.

Here's what I check for coolant problems:

Leaks (duh)
Air pockets
Faulty cap
plugged radiator
faulty clutch fan
bad ducting
bad thermostat
