=> to get to the cabin?

If your engine is maintained properly, the cabin air will not contact any oily parts. It's easy to get oil on the heat exchangers, but hard to get it inside them.

If you're smelling oil, fuel or exhaust in the heater, something is wrong that you should correct ASAP. It could be dangerous. The likeliest leak is exhaust, at the connection between the muffler and the front heat exchangers, usually due to rust.
