As a complete guess from what you have said,
If the pump has a strainer feeding it?
Could it be Blocked?
Is there wear to the main bearing which dump excessive amounts of oil back to the sump, during start-up.
Whereas once the components are warm and the clearances reduced sufficient oil pressure is maintained.
I could carry on but until we have more it is pointless.
Don't give up on the forum but you have to give more info.
Then we may be able to help?

Is it a reciprocating compressor or screw compressor?
