Default Freezer help

Have been dealing with leaking from the freezer side of a side by side whirlpool freezer. So took it all apart today and with some Google help determined the drain may be blocked. Sure enough drain had an ice plug in it but nothing else. Coils at the top had some light ice formation. At the bottom end coils had more ice formation. Why would the ice have formed in the drain location. Freezer was set at 0 degree f. Is it set to cold or is it possible I have a freon leak? Picture below taken after door had been open for a while. Any thoughts/assistance appreciated.

I think there will are some refrigerators and freezers for sale soon - gently used and only in flight, Presidential provenance, too!

I think I fixed it. Will see if the drain freezes again. Put it back together. Seems to be working ok for now. Back to the sc..
