I've had this oak for some years, but never had these issues, so maybe someone can enlighten me on what is causing this. It's two different problems, but I don't know if it's two different causes or not.
There's damage on the leaves and on some new buds that were opening.
The image below shows the first problem. The leaves become yellow and the veins remain green.
Below them, I see some tiny insects moving around. I increased the contrast on the other images for them to be more visible.



The second problem is with the opening new buds. Recently it had another growth flush and everything grew well and healthy except on three or four buds that started growing later.
One of them opened, but the leaves came out with dark areas in them. The other barely grew and the tiny leaves are filled with those dark areas.
When I tried to separate some of the leaves to see if there was anything in there, I saw a tiny larva in one of them.
