I might be able to help but you need to get a vacuum pump to clean out the system before you recharge it. I'd also recommend replacing all the O-rings in the system to avoid more leaks later. Autozone will rent/loan you the vacuum pump and the high/low side gauges so we can do it correctly. I just did mine not long ago and it's ICE cold now. If you can get the gauges and vacuum pump we can do it. You'll also need 18 ounces of refrigerant. If you didn't do the compressor then you don't need to get any oil.

edit: I just replaced this condenser & A/C fan last year so im really confused on why its broken again. It broke when I was crusing at like 95mph in the west Texas summer....maybe it got to hot/to much pressure. I hope the Fan is't broken again but i think its fine. the condenser is definitely leaking though
I also have a clean garage to do the work in. We will need to drain the coolant correct?

i already paid a shop to vac it and "recharge it" to test for leaks. They said that included in the cost I paid that they would refill it for me when I get it fixed. I should get my paycheck next week and I already found a used condenser (40,000 miles) in Dallas (my old Evo shop) that will be $200 shipped. Im looking to do this next weekend. Does Autozone sell the O-rings that I need?

We'll need to remove the front bumper and radiator to remove the condenser. If it has a hole in it. They can be repaired for $40 at Quicks radiators in North Las Vegas. That's how I fixed mine. I broke my cams sensor off in the condenser when removing my motor and they welded the hole for me in like 5 mins. I just had to remove the condenser and they tested / repaired the hole. If you only have a pin hole leak it could be a O-ring. If you just replaced the condenser last year I don't think that's your problem. Autozone has a 0ring kits that's made just for the a/c system.
if you are available tomorrow we can take out my condenser and I will take it to them on Monday to get it checked out. Ill just run water in my coolant system so I dont waste rad fluid.

when they pressurized the system yesterday it was it was a leak from the middle of the condenser on the engine side.
