might be oil ring leak under ur engine... and a small piece of advice here try not to use synthetic engine oil, use mineral, preferable 20w-50...

Last time my vitara only a little bit leaking and the oil was so slow to also need general overhaul. After overhaul, no leaking at all. May be your vitara need general overhaul. May be the leak is at the flywheel there that u cant see.

using mineral oil is cheaper and use more weight lubricant maybe 20w-50 mineral.
leak with synthetic lighter oil will make leak worst.

where is leaking, oil sump cover, loosen drain oil plug, valve cam cover?
