I had that problem with my previous car. With mine it would return to zero advance when it sat but it took a while so the idle was all over the place. I just gave it a shot of WD-40 every now and then and it seemed to take care of it. Apparently they have some rust issues on the where the shaft goes through the housing. I think it's a condensation thing under that cap and the moisture settles and runs down the shaft to the lower bushing.
