Found this leaf and cut it as well as a smaller one with these strange spots yesterday, any ideas? The soil was fairly dry so it was watered after as well which is actually why I found this.

Have you sprayed with anything? Looks like some kind of burn - possibly from spraying neem/soap and the spots burning.

Thank you I did do a spray of neem about a week ago

That could do it. Neem is intense in the day time and can cause those kind of splotchy burns. Its usually better to spray at night
