I have a 1994 Lexus ES 300. Why does the cabin start smelling like antifreeze every time the heater or AC is turned on?

Your heater core is leaking. The only fix is to replace it. This can at times be a very difficult job. It is easy to remove and replace, but most of the time very hard to gain access to the core. For this reason, you will find that this repair can be fairly expensive, so don't be surprised at what they charge. I also recommend you have them do a complete cooling system service at the same time. Drain, flush, replace the thermostat, heater core, and add the proper amount of coolant. As the car is 12 years old, I would also replace the heater hoses, if they have never been replaced.
