     Hi Sanjy67.  I think I have something similar on a newly potted honeysuckle.   These dark marks came up a couple of days after potting it up.  I pulled the affected leaves off, gave the pot a good soak in a bucket of water for 20 minutes.   A week later - so far - no other leaves have the discolouration on them.  So I'm hoping for the best!

    how strange i was just googling about it looking at images when your eply came through haha, i cut all the affected leaves off today that i could see, i'm not sure if yours is the same as mine , mine seemed to be purple in colour but ive cut them off to be sure. \have you checked under leaves for pests ? image
