Default Damper integrity question

The last couple of weeks I have started to notice that when I hit bumpy patches in the road my rear passenger side damper makes noise. So I checked it out today by pressing on both the front corners and testing the rebound and sound and then bouncing the rear drivers side. All three of those corners have minimal bounce and make no noise. But when I lean on the car and compress the rear passenger side corner the damper makes a very audible 'compression' sound both on the down and up stroke. kinda sounds, dare I say something so crappy, like it's sucking air or that you can hear the fluid jetting through the valve or something.

Do you think that damper is blown? They are Tokico blues all the way around.
All opinions on the status of the damper and what I should do about it are greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot guys.

It's a blown strut. Replace it.
