On my 1988 Cutlass Supreme the cable broke at the release point in the car. I was unable to see anything from the outside so in the passenger compartment I took the release handle apart and used a set up pliers to pull the cable and release the hood. There should be just on bolt holding the release in place, it may be covered by the carpet. If it can't be done from the inside you can also reach up from under the front bumper and find the cable where it attaches to the latch. Just pull the cable and the hood should release.

How do you fix an oil leak for a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme We think it's the o-ring but we're not sure please give all suggestions?

Not sure if this is your problem, but my 1996 Olds Cutlass Supreme leaked coolant into the oil. This was caused by broken intake manifold gasket. Apparently they're somewhat notorious for developing leaks. That repair required taking the top half of the engine apart. Not sure where your leak is, or how much it's leaking, but you may want to consider the intake manifold and head gaskets.

How much would it cost to replace a broken head gasket on a 1995 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme?

The cost of the head gasket itself would be anywhere from approximately $20 - $40 per piece (there are two head gaskets, as 1995 Olds Cutlass Supreme has a V6 engine) depending on whether you have the 3.1L or 3.4L DOHC engine. Most of the cost will go to labor; it is a time-consuming job. Best to call a few shops to compare and get estimates on actual labor and parts prices. If anyone has more detail on labor cost, please chime in.

Why won't the top of your 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Convertible go up only the drivers side goes up but the passenger's side doesn't?

Most likely the heim joint has broken on the end of the ram's rod that pushes on the top. Originally pot metal. They screw on to the end of the ram and connect to the top's frame at the shoulder area. Can order new ones off eBay that are better quality and cheap.
