In before 11 people tell you your rods are a bent.
The Vacuum pulls things towards the Vacuum Pump.

In order for the Vacuum Pump to push Oil in the opposite direction I believe there would be obvious lack of vacuum issues would show up.

Vacuum Pumps with a Diaphragm could be different but I think there still would be symptoms of a vacuum loss issues.
