it stopped after 6 hours.
Hopefully the freon is not emptied out.

It isn't freon they don't use freon in modern vehicles the use refrigerant such as R134a. Even then if the evaporator was leaking the refrigerant turns into a gas and doesn't drip.

What probably took so long ( 6 hours ) is that the drain is partially clogged. Get a wet vacuum on that rubber tube and suck it out.

It is just water.
 
A refrigerant leak could still drip oil from the system, but if it dries up and goes away then it could only be A/C condensation, windshield washer fluid, or coolant to a lesser extent. Everything else stays an oily wet mess. The question is does stopped after 6 hr mean it just stopped dripping and still a wet looking patch below it, or that it was all dried up at that point?

You may be able to see dark brown/black oil or dark red ATF on pavement, but otherwise it's hard to see if fluid is really clear without putting down some newspaper to see what color it shows up as on white, or catching a drip before it hits the ground.
