A method of detecting an accumulator failure is provided. The method may comprise measuring a first pressure on a gas-side (106) of an accumulator (102), measuring a second pressure on a fluid-side (112) of the accumulator (102), finding a difference between the first pressure and the second pressure, and comparing the difference to a predetermined threshold. A system for detecting an accumulator failure (300) is also provided. The system (300) may comprise a non-transitory memory communicating with a processor, the non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may include receiving a first pressure measurement, receiving a second pressure measurement, determining a difference between the first pressure measurement and the second pressure measurement, and detecting the accumulator failure based on the difference.
