Refigerator leaked water slightly then stoped cooling

Last night the refrigerator (5 yrs old) started leaking water berry lightly,
then it stoped cooling. the motor from the condensor is still running along with the freezer motor and also the compresor is running without stoping.
lights work too. there is some frost in the back panel of the freezer
even after 24hrs of none cooling by the refrirerator.
can it possibly be the defrost timer being stuck?

Yes try to turn with a screw driver if possible. If it start working replace timer. If not it can be low on freon you would see frosting but no cooling.

Refigerator leaked oil after moving and storage

no if there was oil leaking out then that means the refrigerant has leaked all out. you will have to have it repaired by a service tech.

Fridge stopped working suddenly

Sounds like the relay (start device) on the compressor has failed.  This is a very common problem especially for models that are 3-5 yrs old.  I would replace that first.
