Roland XC 540 sucking back ink problem

Hi,
can not figure what's happening. The printer has 6 heads . The 2 furthers to the right heads are Ml and Cl respectively. What happens that when printer left for a day or 2 sucks the Cyan light UP in the Magenta light head up to the damper and a bit up also. Both are connected down at the same pump, so when pump not working basically they are on the same line. What's causing that bloody vacuum? checked cartridges, have breathing hole, changed dumpers, nope. The other day ink went as far as one of the cartridges and mixed the CL with the ML.

Any idea what's happening????

The only thing i came up is the needle that goes in cartridge to be almost closed and when printing creating a vacuum in that line. Will change ink in cartridge and lines and probably will start clamping the lines at the pump, but would like to find the problem.

Anyone knows about such problem?
