Sounds like your HPOP (high pressure oil pump) has a leaking check valve.

Next time it sits for a few hours pull the allen plug on the top right of the HPOP and see how close to the top the oil level is. It should be 3/4 of inch from the top, no lower than that. If it's not fill it up before you try starting it, if it starts right up, we've found your problem and we can go from there.
