my sorento has a 2.4L inline 4 and the oil what seems like just disappears because it doesn't leak or burn and it isnt in the coolant so if anyone has information please tell me.
Well the oil isn't disappearing into the Twilight Zone. As Scotty says, you're burning oil. Kia engines are very prone to that kind of problem. If still under warranty (original owner is 10yrs/100K miles) you may be able to get a replacement engine if it fails the dealer's oil consumption test.

As @Chucktobias said, you either have an oil leak, or the engine is consuming oil. There's no other way it can happen. Depending on your Kia's model year, they had problems with their piston rings. No ring creates a perfect seal, but it should prevent 99% of oil getting past the rings. My 1999 Ranger has almost 300k miles on it, and it doesn't burn oil that I've noticed after all those miles. It leaks at the valve cover gaskets. It leaks around a quart of oil every 5,000 miles.
If you leave it, eventually you may eventually foul up your catalytic converter, it's designed to burn excess gasoline and reduce NOx emissions, it's not designed to burn oil.
Well I hate to burst your bobble but if it's not leaking on the ground it is then burning the oil. It doesn't necessarily make it smoke hard but it has to go somewhere and if it's not leaking on the ground, it's burning. It. Pull out your forest spark plugged and you'll probably find that they are getting coated with burnt carbon which is proof that the oil is burning
