Cabin Air Filter Leaking Cold

So i was trying to switch out my cabin filter and I was using a flat head screwdriver to pull it out, However I effed up and I think i punctured something behind it, Now a Hissing noise and Cold air (with a plastic like smell) is coming from there, It just happened so i dont know how long itll go, I think It might be that cold coolant thing or something, I dont know..Anyone know whats up?

Happened to me too. Be careful when you're trying to pry that thing out of there.

Any word on the repair?
