The oil won't come out unless it is carried out by liquid refrigerant. That can happen during recovery, but not during evacuation.

It is very hard to determine if you have a leak by looking at the refrigerant pressure. If there is any liquid at all in the system, the quantity of refrigerant has no bearing whatsoever on the pressure. That is why nitrogen is used, as it will not condense to a liquid in the system.
