When removing the dash on a mark.3 Capri and in particular when you have detached the oil pressure pipe it is a good idea to lift it up and block it before starting the engine ...... As you will guess ...... i didnt!!!! . Yep, you find that oil leaks all over your lovely interior is a bit of a pain to try get cleaned up! Doh.
