Is she sitting in wet patches? Does the urine get absorbed once they pee? I assume so since the others don’t get dirty. She’s also white which doesn’t help. Perhaps wipe her with cotton wool and warm water rather than bathing her again?
 
This could be urine but could also be the result of an over active grease gland, worth a vet check but not urgently if she isnt getting sore. Some piggies, especially it seems chubby white fluffy girls (of which I have two myself, one with very determined wee pants and one with poopy skirt dreadlocks!) just like to have wee pants and mucky bums- adding a small fleecy pee pad to their favourite bed and changing it daily may help?
