Nothing, there is a hole in the manifold and the gasket but not in the head so just a "stain" for the lack of better word.

Easy broken stud extraction. Rent a mig welder (120v) from Home Depot and weld a nut to the broken stud and spin right out. Did both exhaust manifolds on my 2011 Hemi Ram with broken rear studs, common problem.
