Check your oil level, if it is decreasing, then you are burning oil. If not, then black soot in the exhaust pipe means the engine is running rich (too much fuel in the air/fuel ratio). If this is the case, then just a simple tune up is usually necessary, replace the spark plugs, wires, air filter, & fuel filter.
