Something "sticking" that's no longer sticking? Or, maybe the engine IS sensitive to too much oil. (I'd always heard overfilling causes "foaming" though, which reduces lubrication).

I still think I'd get it checked out.

I would be getting the problem looked at.

Like Jack said could be something sticking.

Oil on start up is usually valve guides, or the umbrella seals. What happens is the engine will sit for some time and some oil will leak past the guides or the seals through the valves, and rest on the pistons. So when you start the engine the oil then burns off.
