ANSWERs

It would be impossible to sniff out a leak, there is nothing added to freon 
12 to give it a smell

In the quantity that a normal leak would release it is not deadly or even to 
normal people enough to make you sick. I would not stay in a car if a pipe 
blew and filled the passenger compartment with Freon-12. It may be 
possible that if the car is burning and the gas burns that it may be bad to 
inhale, but with all else burning who is going to stay around to find 
out....

If you need to recharge I have had excellent results with upgrading to 
R-134a
