I can tell you that just happened to me like last week. Felt like the AC was crazy cold. My fan stopped working on the outside unit, shich in turn made the compressor overheat and it blew the freon line out. Was a rather violent exlosion of freon, all of it was gone. Had to refill the freon ($50 a lb!!!), replace the drier and fan. I am back up and running.

That must be the newer stuff. R22 was like $110 for the first pound, and $80 for each additional the last time I had mine serviced. One reason I decided to go ahead and replace rather than try a repair and have to add refrigerant again.
