    It's very possible that the heater control valve needs replacing.

    So why is the antifreeze leaking into the cabin? And my heater doesn't work either

    On many cars, when the heater control valve fails, the antifreeze simply leaks on the passenger side. It's a mass produced item that is just prone to doing this. What year and make car do you have?
