Yes, a bad heater core can cause antifreeze to leak under the dash. The heater core is responsible for transferring heat from the engine coolant to the cabin, and if it develops a leak, coolant can escape and drip onto the floorboard. This can result in a wet carpet and potentially lead to further issues if not addressed promptly. Additionally, a leaking heater core can cause a sweet smell inside the vehicle and may lead to engine overheating if coolant levels drop significantly.

I'm sure you are talking about the passenger side. The heater core must be leaking. That is the only thing that will allow antifreeze into the cab. Check and make sure that the heater hose's that clamp to the heater core out under the hood is tight. If they are then replace the heater core.

Why do you smell antifreeze in the cab of your Subaru?

Antifreeze is used to heat the cab of your vehicle. When you turn on your heat in your cab, it opens up a valve that allows the hot antifreeze to flow from the radiator into the heater core. If there is a leak in the rubber tubes that flow into the heater core, or if the heatercore is damaged, you will smell the antifreeze in the cab of the vehicle. You may need new hoses to the heater core and/or a new heater core.
