Clicking sound from A/C compressor area

Hello there,

I got a question about strange clicking sound from area around the A/C compressor on my 2005 LS430. I have checked the A/C compressor area with flash light while engine runs. I can see light iron powder around A/C compressor pulley. Also once in a while I can see like one iron shaving piece jumps out around the pulley. A/C runs just fine but the sound is very load. This refurbished A/C compressor worked well over the year and half. 

Is there any pulley bearing which can go wrong and make bad noise? More Acceleration I make = more and faster clicking sound. Week ago I have heard this sound like 2 times a day. Now the sound is there all the time and I am afraid to drive the car.

Do you guys have any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks a lot!

I think I would replace it before it throws the auxiliary belt as that would just result in more expense.

I guess if it's on its way out, then better to catch it before it totally goes
