Coolant leak, headgasket blown?
THIS IS A POSSIBILITY but it could be the one of the brass freeze plugs that started leaking OR the intake manifold gasket which also has a coolent passage running through could be leaking
Although not Miata, but very informative in regards to overheating:

yeah, popped off.
came off.
reason i ask is cause i've had two cars with head gasket issues.
when the head gasket is poor, the pressure inside the system becomes greater.
on both cars, my upper radiator hose popped off while driving and spilled coolant everywhere.

Here are the symptoms:
-Rough idle all the time (worst than before)
-Coolant is now getting darker green (oils in it)
-Oil is getting dark after 400 km and less thicky (I'm sure there is water in the oil)
-Smell like oil when accelerating
-HLAs are noisier than ever, even after heat up...
