Massive oil leak

Massive oil leak
so I started the truck up for the first time after rebuilding it. Took a second to fire but it started up. About 10 seconds into it running it through about at least a quart of oil if not more on the ground and just about everywhere within 5 feet of it. Oil pan shows no sign of leaking. It all came from the front of the motor, not sure if it came from the crank or the oil pump. I’m thinking it’s the oil pump. But why would it throw out so much oil like that? The oil gauge read normal before it shitted itself

I’m not at home to look at the book and couldn’t find much online for my truck, but I know I can get access to that area with it in place. I remember some kind of plate that goes on the front of the block by the gear behind the harmonic balancer but I don’t remember if that has to come off to remove the gear. If that’s the case then more than likely it will have to come out.
