The bleeder valve is a screw on the top water neck.

You just need to jack the car up or park on an incline, turn the heater on 4, let the car idle to normal operating temp, then watch the radiator fill hole to see if it "burps". You could also squeeze the upper radiator hose to get some of the bubbles out. When your done, fill the radiator back to the top and put the cap on.

Now, I had the same re-occurring issue with my car a while back. I bled and bled the coolant system just as described above and still had overheating issues. It would drive just fine, but when i came to a stop the temp would creep up almost to the top line. Turns out it was my water pump. Replaced the water pump and haven't had any more issues.

Good luck
