If it was a vac leak would the pressure not go back towards normal (zero) as opposed to a higher vac reading (increased negative value)? 
There's a current thread on zero-ing for boost gauges, don't know if that's any help here?

agreed a vac leak would make the reading higher (closer to zero)

I think your gauge is reading wrong myself
