If you read the manga, jiraiya said nothing of a sudden release of chakra ever happening, much less being the cause of his fatal wound.

Orochimaru flatout said he was leaving because his body was rejecting him and that he was having fun. He didnt use any of his high level jutsu.

Regardless of what abilities each character has, Orochimaru was able to go toe to toe just fine with 4 tails, Jiraiya could not.
