Coolant Leak
Coolant is leaking from under crank pulley..when my truck is off justva not drips out but when running leak increases. But weird part is that on flat ground leak is very minimal but my driveway has a good slope causing front of truck to sit higher. Thinking it is water pump but not sure. I just did a new overflow tank, thermostat and coolant flush .

Have you tried re-torquing all your bolts? Maybe you didn't put the pump back on tight enough. I hate to say it, but it sounds like you need to take it all back down and check the gaskets. Or a hose on the pump is leaking at the flange.

Check the weep hole under the water pump. It might be telling you that it wants to retire. 
If it is the pump you might want to consider a new fan clutch while everything's apart. They are not cheap (OEM at least) but it has to come off to do the water pump so there's no extra labor involved other than installing the new part when you put everything back together.
