It's not surprising that only 1 strut will go and not 2/4 at the same time.
From my understanding, struts should be replaced in 2/4 as this is typically the case. If you replace just the leaking one now, the other may go soon, and it won't be practical to pay twice when you could have had both replaced at once.
I suggest looking for a low-mileage shock setup left over from someone who upgraded to a different suspension setup. Alternatively, there are several aftermarket shocks which have been consistently good, including Koni FSD and Koni Sport (yellow).
Install should run about $300 at a local shop, with another $100-120 alignment. A set of used shocks with ~20k miles use typically run about $200, and a set of aftermarket Konis will be ~$500-600.
Good luck
