Default oil cooler bolt stripped

does anyone happen to know what size bolt/thread is used to hold the oil cooler block to the pan? mine is stripped and is causing a leak while driving/idling. I could remove the bolt but i am on night shift right now and dont want to be stranded with the wrong bolt and have oil draining out

It's 6m x 1.0 thread. You can put a heli-coil kit in the bolt hole.
