Oil Light Flashes At Start

I thought there was something in the archives about oil lights flashing, and someone who had a failed oil pump, but i cant find it after searching for a bit....

My oil light flashes for like 1-2 seconds after starting, (after all the other lights go out) usually only after the car has sat for at least 24 hours. I had this once before but that was when a nice guy mechanic used a non volvo oil filter without check valve, but swapping it out fixed that.

the light started flashing after my most recent oil change, is this a sign of a oil pump going out....?

Is it normal for the oil to drip down while the car is sitting? I thought the check valve fixed that..... could i jsut have a faulty check valve in my filter?

thanks a Bunch!
