Coming home work, the temp skyrocketed. Got home and noticed a stream of
coolant leaking from what looked like the water pump. I replaced the water
pump and still have the leak from the crank shaft - could this be?
Help me please.
Thanks

Nope, not likely at all. If you've got coolant coming out the front
main seal, it's new engine time as your block is cracked. I suspect you
actually have a leak somewhere else that's running down and appearing
like it's coming from the front main.

year/make/model/engine might help if there's a known issue with any
particular hoses/gaskets leaking that someone might be able to point you
towards...
