I can't explain why your system clock would be losing time, but you may
be able to alleviate the problem by running ntpd.

Edit /etc/ntp.conf and add some clock servers.

Good choices are time.windows.com (hey they at-least run a reliable 
clock server) and time.apple.com (so does apple).

server time.windows.com
server time.apple.com

Edit /etc/ntp/step-tickers and add the same clock servers

time.windows.com
time.apple.com

No start it.

;/etc/init.d/ntpd start

Add it to your run levels using chkconfig or other methods.
