22RE - Air/Fuel Mixture Screw on Throttle Body Turning Itself

I'm finding that my mixture screw is turning itself as I drive. It's rotated as much as 120 degrees (close to a full half turn) in a single trip. I'm also concerned if it's that loose that it's creating a vacuum leak.

Curious how to go about solving this. Thoughts?

The screw on the TB is the idle adjustment screw. If you pull the screw out, it has an O ring on it that seals it and holds it in place. Replace the O ring and put it back in. My local napa had one that fit perfect and it cost me like .50

the o-ring replacement is the right idea, but you can also cover it entirely with rtv.
