Was the orange line giving issues before the parts were changed, or was the work done to try and fix it? Have you tried flushing the line?

Yes! The problem comes before parts changed, no flush line yet. Recommend to do in the end of the damper top ? Remove the line there and pull solvent true the line?

Any damage on the head surface? Looks like maybe there was a head strike.
Im the only using the printer, never head strike, looks like cap is not parallel with the head, after a soft clean orange ink is present outside the cap. I tried the capping adjusment in service mode but nothing change, can be do some alignment with allen bolts?

Interesting looking pattern on the first image. Since the orange is on the far edge of the head, there is a chance the head is starting to delaminate. Wipe the edge around the nozzle plate as clean as you can, then let the printer sit overnight (powered) and see if you can see any ink leaking above the nozzle plate. I hope that it's not a bad head, but it's a semi-educated guess.

It looks like your capping does not seal properly. Disconnect the vacuum pump, connect a syringe and pull some ink after you open all ink valves from service menu. If the ink is coming with bubbles or not at all, then you have a sealing issue.
Change the capping with a brand new one. The OEM capping is better quality, the third-party is a lottery... some of them are good or you have to try two-three-four until you find a good one.
Before going to do something drastic and expensive, try to change the capping. I saw this issue dozens of times resolved with a brand new capping.
