Answer
Eric,

It sounds to me like the airconditioner compressor is binding up inside.  I would take it in and get the compressor checked really soon.  If it shells it could throw the belt and leave you stranded.  Also, with the system still working it will be much cheaper to get it repaired.  That is, if the compressor shells it will throw metal through the system causing more parts to be replaced.
