My OM-2S produces frames that are slightly skewed. When looking
at a roll of processed film I see that each image is skewed
about .5mm from the next image. In other words, the image is
rotated on the roll by probably about one degree.
Has anybody else experienced this and what can be done to repair
it? I'm wondering if the film is slightly buckling.

I encounter images that are slightly skewed from time to time, about 1/3 to
1/2 degree (not noticeable until shooting architecturals near a frame
edge!) but I chalk that up sloppy tripod head leveling. Not the problem
you've cited.
Scanned through the replies thus far and from what I gather you've been
experiencing this for a long time. Is it:
(a) the horizon or some other vertical or horizontal line within the image
being skewed, or
(b) is the entire image rectangle skewed relative to the film strip edges?
If it's (a), nobody has mentioned the possibility the viewfinder is
slightly skewed and its frame edges are out of alignment with the film gate
edges.
If it's (b) I agree with the posting(s) suggesting checking the back and
pressure plate.
