Hi John,
I am not sure but maybe you have a problem with databaseconnection which 
  were opend but not properly closed anymore...
To get ride of this I restart tomcat ervery night, not a good idea but 
it helps.
To get more information you can watch the connections between opencms 
and oracle.

You can also use the java-service-wrapper
http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.org/doc/english/index.html
this wrapper can react on exceptions from tomcat (e.g. 
OutofMemoryException -> tomcat restart)

HTH
