Exhaust manifold studs had rusted and broken on the drivers side, causing the mainfold to leak at the head. Same thing was about to happen on the drivers side. Had studs replaced on both sides, plus heat shields, plus new manifolds for roughly $1000 in parts and $1000 in labour. A known problem with these Hemi engines, but the manifolds are expensive, especially on the drivers side because it isn't shared with other Chrysler products, it is unique to Aspens and Durangos.
