Cooling line stripped?

Hey guys. I was changing the oil in my 99 4runner 4x4 when I bumped a rubber line I'm guessing is used for cooling the transmission because it's fitted to the bottom of the radiator. Well anyways when I bumped it, the line came detached from the radiator like it wasn't fastened at all. I examined the adapter, or the coupling that connects the rubber hose to the radiator and it appears to have threads, and a rubber o-ring at the tip as if it's supposed to thread into the radiator, but won't. It just slips all the way in and when I let it go pretty much falls halfway off.The other line, the opposite of the problem one is ridgid and tight to the radiator. So what happened with this? Does anyone know what this little piece is called? And does it thread into the radiator, and if so is it likely to be stripped or is it likely the female threads in the radiator are stripped (if there even are any). Thanks in advance guys
