Leakage is inevitable, according to the 2nd law of tempodynamics.  The
excess time cancels out the space that leaks away from the Earth in its
orbit.  (You wouldn't want time and space to be mismatched, would you?)
GPS satellites very carefully figure time leakage into their calculations
(http://www.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/~pogge/Ast162/Unit5/gps.html), for
example.  I'm surprised you didn't know this.  :-)
