PM is Powdery Mildew. Google it.
As for what's eating your leaf. Look the plant over for small green caterpillars. Under the leaves, around the pot, etc... I'm assuming that those are outside so it's always possible that you get some traveler insects like grasshoppers and other insects that eat vegetation. Could have been a single bug taking a snack and then moving on. I don't know.
As for the PM I would remove the infected leaves immediately. As I said, use google to look up powdery mildew remedies. There are many different methods of controlling PM. Many of the products are not available in many countries so depending on where you are located determines the remedy available to you.
Good luck.

they come in a bag, and yes just release them onto your plant. They will only hangout as long as there are bugs for them to eat then they leave
I causght 1 ladybug and put it on my plant its been there all day must be eatting something also i put the black and white spotted mini lady bugs on it to they also eat aphids aparently
Ya think ive caught it early i just saw 1 aphid and 2 of these tiny tiny black long bug looks like a sliver. The lady bug walked all over my plant now its sleeping on one of the leafs it hasnt moved for 2 hours i put 3 of the black with white spots mini looking lady bugs on my plant to there still on there to i put 2 of them on my otber plant but they switched to the plant where the lady bugs been on my other plant must not have any food for them on it which is a good sign

Just keep adding lady bugs until they don't stick around
Sounds good I just found a new ladybug that l didn't put on my plant so there must be aphids if there landing on it on there own also what's this mean I just woke up and saw this on my other plant that has no ladybugs on it the leaves are cupping and curling down I didn't have a wind blocker up could this be cause it was windy ?
