Default Ac leaking

I was driving and my air started blowing very slowly even on max setting , the air was cool but barely coming out of the vents.
I turned off and back on and then back on and it worked for a bit and then same thing, it started barely blowing.
When I got home I parked the car and a it leaked out a puddle of cold water from the passenger side of the car.
Any clues as to what that could be?
Bad compressor, freon leak?
Thank you

Evaporator froze over, air flow is blocked , turn off ac car and it defrosts and water puddle results. You are probably low on AC coolant r134A, with your limited knowledge you should find a trustworthy wrench to check the AC charge. Low change can cause the evaporator to freeze over.

I doubt it's that, but it's easy enough to test. Turn it to heat (or just not on A/C) and see if the lack of airflow persists. I'd suspect the blower motor, because that's what actually moves the air around.
