I've never checked mine that way but it doesn't sound normal to me.  My first thought is that the oil pump is passing and allowing the oil to drain into the sump when it is stood but then, if there was a fault with the oil pump, it wouldn't pump the oil back into the tank.  Having said that, my conclusion is that there's something wrong with the pump.  Fortunately, it's not hard to change the pump and, while I've never done it, I'm sure it can be done with the engine in the frame.
