Above the oval is a rubber seal that seals the hood to the oval. Take a screwdriver and push down on rubber. Then spray hood mechanism liberally with PB Blaster. Then take said screwdriver and push against lever that pops hood. It should release.
If your dash hood release cable has snapped, you should be able to see where it attaches on that hood release latch. Push down on that rubber seal, and with a small flashlight, take a look. You may have to use the screwdriver to push/pull that part 1st, then the small lever.
