stupid coolant question

Hey all, I have an 03 evo w a coolant leak. I believe I chased it down to the ac condenser but just wanted to verifiy that coolant even passes through that in our cars before I buy another one. Thanks!

Go to a shop and have them pressure test the coolant system, they will be able to find the leak.

AC doesn't have coolant flow through it BTW

Hmm alright ill try to get these things looked at. But I think I found the problem. Looks like the ac condenser want bent & hit the radiator on a corner, doesn't look like much damage which was probably why I missed it when I was first going through. But will defi check out the things ya suggested.
