Default Oil pan bolt question (sorry if wrong forum)

Apologies in advance if I post in wrong forum

I recently got a leak from my oil cooler and decided to replace the gasket and when I was torquing the bolt to specs one of them snapped in the process and the oil cooler plate adapter broke in 2 pieces

Long story short got a new plate and I'm slowly backing the bolt out with a chisel I have no clue what size it is

I know it was a 10mm bolt but I do not know the thread size whether it was corse or fine. Does anyone know the size? Thanks

Just take the threaded portion to the hardware store and find the board with the nuts glued to it (where they sell nuts and bolts). See which one it screws into and thats your thread.

not to break off from topic, but what were your symptoms of the leaky oil cooler??? Did oil coat the filter or was it on the pan too???

Thanks
