First state whether it is a confirmed leak; many times it is not a metal fuel line which is actually leaking fuel, but a hose or connector. Other times it isn't either, but the strong gasoline odor is caused by the VAPOR RECOVERY CANISTER or "charcoal canister" which saturates with gasoline and emits strong fuel odor.
A leak developed in a metal fuel line (tubing) that drips fuel onto the floor needs to be perfectly identified, since it is a fire hazard. I have found the precise location of a fuel leak in the metal tubing line by raising either the front or the rear of the car, so that the exact location of the leak point can be seen, regardless of the fuel clinging for some distance before finding a low point and then falling to the floor; in that way you can see exactly where the tubing starts to get wet on its outside, normally dirty.

Why does my Kia Leak gas underneath but the mechanic can't find anything wrong?
If it leaks fuel it has a leak. Fuel flows from the fuel tank to the engine through fuel lines. A fuel leak is relatively easy to find. Your nose is your best tool. Find a mechanic who knows what he is doing and he will find the problem. This one obviously is not very good.
