The refrigerant used in this Opal Icemaker is R600a and it is a gas. Regarding the leak, during normal operation, condensation forms on the bottom surface of the ice bin. This water will sometimes collect and drip down the lower front surfaces of the ice maker. The included drip tray can be installed in front of the Opal to collect this water. -- We recommend following the cleaning and system descaling procedures starting on page 7 of your Owner’s Manual to improve this issue.
