Not saying this is exactly your problem....but when the engine is running, the slinger on the back of the crank is designed to throw oil off and away from the seal. When you shut the engine off, the slinger quits working but there is still oil draining down all of the walls for awhile. So it might not be as simple as oil level in the pan.
Hope this expands the possibilities that you consider.....
