    I can't tell for sure, but this could be damage caused by Erineum mites, or some other type of mites. Compare with Google Images on the Web. I find them on my grape vines in the spring, which I assume is the current season where you live.

    I agree that it might look like the blister mite. I believe they overwinter in the scales and bark of the tree. I have read that they do not affect crop yield, but are ugly.

    to me they seem lees like blisters, also, i have witnessed a hornet sitting over one of the sick leaves for a long period, perhaps it is something related to the hornets?

    Hornets are unlikely to cause the kind of damage visible in your photos. I can see what look like blisters in the smaller of the two leaves in the first two photos. The damage in the other areas could be caused by spider mites. Are there any signs of fine webbing on the undersides of the leaves?

    yes, there are indeed small delicate spider webs between the foldings of the leaves

    You can try spraying insecticidal soap to control spider mites.
