Subject:what holds up coolant reservoir?

Hi,
    I own a 83 diesel vanagon. I parked my van the other day, only to
come back to a large spill of coolant all over the pavement. I thought
ohhh no the plastic reservoir burst, something that had happened 4 years
ago on a trip through the mountains. Instead what I found was that the
intake tube had popped off because the reservoir had dropped down inside
the engine. I secured the tube again, added coolant and wired the tank
up and went on my way for a temporary fix.
    Is there a bracket that holds the reservoir up? I see nothing
hanging around the engine that broke or dropped down etc.... and no way
to hold the reservoir up. Thanks.
    Sue
