Am I the only one wondering how smoke comes out of a sealed
comrpessor?

BINGO!

Ive seen em blow out the sealed wire terminal penetrations .. makes
all kinds of black smoke, blows oil all over the place.. or they
just leak.

most likely though is an exploded start capacitor and start relay..
thats external.
