As a good guess, I would say it is your bearing seal. That's about the only thing that would give a burning rubber type smell in the drum/tub. Try moving the tub forward and backward and see if it moves. It should not. If it does that's a sure sign of bearing problems. Hopefully it is something else. Bearings are a difficult fix.
If the washer won't drain water the drain pump might be defective. It's also common for a small sock or other article of clothing to get caught in the drain pump or in the drain hose. Check both for an obstruction before replacing the pump.
Water leaking out from the machine can be caused by a number of problems:
Check the drain pump hoses for condition and security, check the tub seals and also door seal.
sounds like you might have a broken hose or a loose hose. remove the back panel from the unit and inspect the plumbing. also -- while you are doing the inspection - pull the pump screen/drain plug and clean out any debris that might be in there ( you will need to do this sometime anyway ).
if you are still having troubles -- please feel free to write me back here and I will do my best to walk you through it.
Have you checked the selonoid valve? It's the piece that your hoses connect to. The part isn't that expensive when you compare it to a new machine. I changed one several years ago on a Whirlpool and I think it was around $15-20.
