doubt it was the water pump. most likely didnt get the intake gasket to seal properly and that let the coolant get into the crankcase. but without looking at it no one can say for certain. i would pressure test the cooling system to find the leak

Suspect improper sealing of intake. Take out sparkplugs and try to turn engine to get cylinders to empty.
