Wow - that's weird - there are 4 bolts that should hold it on, as I 
recall - 2 on each side. 10mm. And it its the real thin one, about 
2inches square - that's your oil cooler. There's a 13mm nut on each side 
that holds a bracket on, and that bracket has 2 10mm bolts that bolt to 
the oil cooler.
For now, just zip tie it in place. Make sure its not too damaged - you 
could lose a LOT of oil quickly.

FYI - the AC condenser is in front the the radiator...

I went under my car and no sooner did I do that I found that (I am assuming it is this) the A/C condensor (looks like  a thin long radiator with a couple braided hoses on each side) had lost its bolt on the right passenger side and it was hanging and bumping into the pullies when I would turn the A/C on!  Can anyone provide me with any insight as to what size bolt I need to bolt the condensor back on?  I temporarily used a screwdriver to keep the condensor up and any insight on what size bolt it is would be appreciated..
