The cooler pipes have a 'quick release' fitting on each end where they connect to the oil cooler either side of radiator. I presume this is where it blew off?
It's quite a common fault as the pipes get older and the quick release fitting gets weak.
Don't know of any mod available but best to replace both the pipes and make sure the ends on the oil cooler are in perfect condition.
The auto box should be fine and usually the pipes can just be clicked back onto the cooler and gearbox topped up to get you home and replace pipes later!
