will a pressure test for a radiator find coolant leaks in the motor as well?

1997 olds cutlass. Just found a small coolant leak under the car today. It is not coming from under the radiator though. Looks like its dripping from directly under the motor itself. If I get a pressure test for the radiator, does that only test the radiator

a pressure test will only tall you have a leak and will not show you where the leak is but will in cress the speed that it leaks and helping you find the leak could be a bad seal on the water pump or bad head gasket but you need to find the leak look
