There has been some smoke coming out everytime i turn the car on or in the morning,,
the mechanic told me that one of all of my seals didnt worked,,,
but he didn't told me what was the name of the seal,,
i want to do it myself but i dont know what seals to change and how to clean the oil from the spark
plugs so i can change them.
any ideas?

As long as you're not burning a noticeable amount of oil, I wouldn't worry about it.

GTs [5SFEs] don't have spark plug seals, nor does the valve cover seals have ANYTHING to do with oil in the plug holes, how many times do I have to say this?

If you have a GT [5SFE] and you have oil in your plug holes, your spark plug tubes are bad or leaking.

Smoke on startup is usually your valve seals, which are a PITA to replace for most of you [you'll need some special tools, mechanical experience and something to hold the valves up in the cylinder].
NOT a job for a beginner, unless you have experienced help.
