What car can you smell battery acid in?  If it's a 5000/100/200 with the 
battery under the rear seat, you may have a battery that is not vented 
properly.  The battery is supposed to have a vent tube to a hose that leads 
beneath the car.

Coolant odor in the cabin only occasionally sounds like maybe a leak in the 
hose connecting to the heater core.  I'd think that a leaking heater core 
would make the odor continuous.
