How often (miles) do you get it serviced? Whereabouts are you located?

I would do a compression test. Does it smoke at all?

Oil usage is a fact of life, .5 L every 3000 Km is quite a bit, but is it
leaking? you know old Suzuki's  like to mark their territory  ;)

Just watch the level every fill up (petrol) and keep it full, it
will be fine

If the black on the concrete is oily, I would be concerned, but
it is probably just black water, the black is from carbon in the
exhaust system
