While you may be focusing on real problems caused by ice dams, etc, check your water pipes as well. If your outside walls have old water pipes in them, the iron oxide on the interior of the pipes (rust = orange) might be part of the problem. An ice dam is always a symptom - with a lot of problems to fix that you may or may not want to do - insulation, air flow, etc - but when ice builds it can also cause old pipes to flex - creating a crack in the pipes that leads to the orange seapage. Old nails will also sweat orange - but I'd check to see if you have water pipes there first. Another old house owner, Bill Orange Water????
