I have seven lilacs, and they all have the spots on their leaves, they get full morning, sun, and afternoon shade

We are in Washington state

Is there anything I can do to help the leaves?

To my (not as experienced as others) eye it looks like either powdery mildew or mealy bugs…. The white spots on the leaves are what lends me towards that. I would check for pests first thing.

Thank you for helping

This looks like the work of a lilac leafminer. Their small larvae live in the leaves and eat the leaves from the inside out.

How would you go about combating those?

Lacewings and spiders

If you have any idea of to communicate with with these little creatures to help out let me know.
