i have a 2004 dodge srt-4 i just put a new motor in it and it ran fine for 2 months no problem...til one night drove and i notice it was smoking a little near the front left tire...and the smoke smelt like burnt rubber...when i got back home same thing smelt like burnt rubber more towrds the front tire no where else...what can this be my cluctch because i never bled the clutch before putting everthing togther please help
 
A burnt clutch has a smell similar ro burnt brakes. And it sounds like that's what you have.
If it were a brake dragging you would have felt it in the way the car was driving.
Possibly a belt. If an idler pulley siezed it will smoke the belt and smell like burnt rubber. But that would be in the front right area of the car not left and you probably would have heard it.
So yes, it's most likely the clutch disc. Probably not a bleeding issue, just a burned up clutch.
Best of luck!
