Most refrigerant leaks happen inside the freezer behind the back panel and in the evaporator coil. If you would like me to help you resolve this please let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

    Would you like me to tell you how to find the leak and repair or offer the best solution. Also if your refrigerator has R-134A we can add a little and be legal. But I will need to instruct you on how and what part you will need. Contact me at [email protected] or through my web sites. Sea Breeze

    If your refrigerator has lost freon here is what to look for. Unplug and remove the rear panel in the back of the freezer. Just a few minutes after you unplugged you will see ice on part of the evaporator and cold sweat on the other part. You need to tell me the answer to what you see to go to next step. Let me know.

SOURCE: How can you tell if your coolant has leaked out of your refrigerator?

Freon is a clear gas while at room tempertaure.
You would not see it.
Freon leakage is normally one of the last things to go wrong with a fridge.
You may want a second opinion.

My refrigerator and my freezer are not cold anymore. the motor is running but the air comming out of the vent is not cold.

Sounds like the compressor is dead, or that it works and there was a leak in a line somewhere and your coolant is gone. If it's an old one and you're not able to do the work yourself to replace the compressor or coolant, whatever one it is, you might want to toss it or give it away.

Air conditioning sometimes takes a while to start blowing air

Do you mean it takes a while to blow air or cold air? I am going to assume you mean cold air. Sometimes it can take a few seconds for the refrigerant to get up to speed. Especially when real hot outside. If the air is not getting cold for a long time you may have a leak. Refrigerant systems are sealed and in theory, with no leak, will always blow cold. Before you charge the coolant in your system fix the leak first or you are wasting your money. If this does not answer your question please be a bit more specific. Good luck.

If the coolant from the freezer compartment leaked, will the refrigerator still work (stay cold)? I know the freezer won't work. thanks.

There is only one coolant circuit for a refrigerator. There is a fan that circulates the cold air from the freezer side and pushes it through the refrigerator side and that's how that gets cold. So if all or some of your refrigerent leaked out then the refrigerator will have to be repaired by a qualified technician if you still want to use it.

You probably have a leak of the coolant, requiring someone to come to the house and find the leak, fix it and refill the coolant.
Not a job you can do yourself. Sorry.
