COOLING SYSTEM HELP! (LONG)

2001 9-5 SE (78k):
Recently experienced overheating situation with white steam pouring out of left front of vehicle. No warning lights except "check coolant level." Checked under hood and observed coolant sprayed around vicinity of overflow resevoir but no apparent breaken hoses.
Had the car towed to local SAAB dealer. They pressurized cooling system and could not identify a problem. Service rep said the tech could not explain what happened. He suspects the thermostat may have stuck in the closed position and caused excessive pressure to blow coolant out of the expansion tank, but that was just a theory. Soooo.... do I pay over $350 to have the thermostat replaced, even though it may not be the problem??? Anyone have any ideas? Anders....?
