Besides making a very loud bellowing the other day, my A/C compressor is spitting out burnt rubber or plastic when the A/C switch is on!

There is a crease between the pully and the front of the clutch mechanism where the junk is coming out of.

Tried it out again tonight and I thought it was locked solid because smoke and burnt rubber smell was coming from the hood as soon as I pushed in the button. When I took a closer look it was not the belt, but from the clutch of the compressor.
