On a lot of newer automotive a/c systems the receiver/dryer is just a cloth packet housed in one side of the condenser (it's kinda like those packets that say "do not eat" that are in beef jerky but bigger). This makes the system less expensive and lighter weight. There will be an access plug on the bottom of the condenser, unscrew that and the r/d is inside. It may be a little difficult to get the old one out, a long pair of needlenose pliers is handy. Try not to tear the packet up to much or it can be really difficult to get some of the bits out. The new r/d packet will come sealed in plastic and should include a new seal(s) for the plug, or sometimes a while new plug. Should be a pretty easy job to replace it.
