Try using ail with a stop leak additve (high mileage oil)if you don't want to get under it. If that doesn't work you've got to find the leak(sometimes this is hard). It helps to clean the engine off first(Engine Brite Foaming Cleaner or the like). You can then try tightening the bolts around the part that is leaking. This may not work. You'll have to replace gaskets/reseal the mating parts.

Why would you have a gasoline smell in a '96 Chevy S10 after the mechanic has not been able to find a leak?
Check the evaporative canister under the hood for raw fuel. It is that black can with vacuum and wires running to the top. Good answer above. If you fill the tank and smell it, but it goes away after the fuel level goes down, you could have a leak where the fill tube joins the tank. There could even be a leak in the tank itself. Ran across that one a few years ago in a 2001 Chevy Caprice...couldn't find the leak anywhere until the tank was removed, filled with water, then flexed...the leak was at the top of the tank.
