My time is going off all the time since a few weeks. Not sure when it
started, but I now need to do a netdate every 4 hours and the time
difference is between 1 or 2 seconds up to 5 minutes.

Anybody an idea what might be causing this?

I had a similar problem. What fixed it was to set the BIOS clock to a
slightly different time, boot Linux. Reboot and set the BIOS to the proper
time and then use the time feature in OpenSuse to set it to the same time.
I don't know why that fixed the problem.

If your clock is slow, you might change the backup battery on the
motherboard.
