A leaky SOV is typically the SOV oring or a fuel line oring attaching to it. When they fail, they usually get "sticky" where the valve fails to close fully when the key is turned off and the engine runs on a few moments before shutting down. A bad oring can also cause the same delayed shutdown.

Spray the bolt heads clean before you insert your torx bit. I think the torque is no more than 20nm.
