First thing I would be 'suspectiing' is a leaking fuel injector that floods the cylinder after shut-down and clears after start-up from running.
Easy to swap with another cylinder to see if the problem follows.
Check oil for the smell of gas before you start a cold engine to see if this might show.

Second thing, is there any coolant leaking from a hose in the area?
Third, change the boot and plug. Be sure to use dielectric grease at the plug to boot insulator.
