Do you take a lot of short trips?
Your fuel system is always under pressure, even when off. The first place I would start would be with the injectors. There is a little ball that opens a port, if that is messed up it will leak-down the fuel in the fuel rail every time you turn the engine off. I can't imagine that the engine isn't throwing some sort of code.

Do a leak down test, and see if your fuel rail can hold at least 30 PSI for five minutes after warm shut down.

By the way, this is a really damaging condition for the engine, since the fuel is washing your piston rings of any latent oil, and the oil that is in there no longer has the viscosity to protect the engine.
