The R-22 (chlorodifluoromethane), will leak from a smaller hole than R-410A will. Sort of. Now that we've answered the question, it's time to state that R-410A is an azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane. And the difluoromethane component of the mixture is a smaller molecule than chlorodifluoromethane, which is what R-22 is. But the pentafluoroethane is a larger molecule than the chlorodifluoromethane (R-22). If molecular size is the sole determinate as to which "stuff" can get out, part of the R-410A can get out a smaller hole than the R-22, but all of the R-22 can get out through the "right sized hole" because it is smaller than a constituent of the R-410A. It's your call. Links are provided.
