Hello,
Generally freon flows in a tubing system in refrigerators and it cannot be leaked in way that you are describing.
Hole in the freezer will not result into leakage of freon.
Nothing to worry about.
Even if it gets leaked as soon as it comes into room temperature it becomes a gas and leaves the surroundings.
Difficult to get as mixed with water.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
