Default Coolant leaking from the crankshaft pulley?

Just done a basic service that was well needed on my LS400, all fluids, thermostat, plugs leads etc & after a 10 minute run have noticed coolant pissing out of the bottom of the crankshaft pulley.
Yes most likely the water pump needs replacing though thought I'd see if anyone has had this issue before & perhaps it's something els (I'm rather new to these cars)


Thanks!

just be sure the thermostat is not leaking and all thats left is the orings and WP gaskets.....

always identify your 90-2000 year model, they are not all alike.

Is it a constant drip? Maybe they just spilled coolant when replacing the thermostat.
