Does this look like a freon leak? (photo attached)

Hello,

I do not have any experience with AC units but I am trying to get to the bottom of our AC issues. My wife and I recently moved into a new apartment unit. Within the first week of moving in, we noticed the air felt warm when we had the AC on 70 degrees. We called maintenance, and they sent a guy up. He told us that the freon was low and that he filled it back up. This whole process of his "repair" took less than 5 minutes. The air was pretty good for about a week or two and then it started getting warm again. I went down myself and looked at the AC unit. It looks like something is corroded/leaking. Would this be a freon leak? I did some research and appears that the accumulator(?) is corroded and leaking freon. Does the photo show a freon leak? If so, what are some of the solutions to get the problem fixed?

Thanks in advance.
