I won't start it again until I have checked the pressure relief valve.

Probably what is happening, is that most of the oil that had drained into the sump is being pumped up into the engine and the oil tank. Losing that head of pressure could be what is making the difference since the oil pump is having to scavenge oil rather than just pumping it from a bulk source.
