Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. It would be very hard to say, as this can be anything from nutrient deficiencies, to Mosaic Virus. Some illnesses are easy to treat, such as nutrient deficiencies. Some, such as Mosaic Virus, are completely untreatable.

February 25, 2020Q.Passion Flower plant is developing white spots on leaves
Plant is kept indoors near a picture window as I live in Michigan, and the temperatures get down to zero in the winter. I have sent two pictures showing the spots on the leaves. Please tell me if there is something I can do to save this plant.

Certified ExpertA.It is hard to say, but it doesn't look like it has had a trim in quite a while. This could introduce infection.
They will benefit from annual pruning, or at least every 2 years, or so. Here is an article to help with pruning: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/passion-flower/cutting-back-passion-vines.htm
There is still the issue of infection. You will want to treat with a fungicide, after you remove all dead or infected matter. This article will help:

March 28, 2020Q.I have something eating the new flower buds of my passion fruit vine at night. There is some visual damage on other leaves but not
near any of the flowers. I believe it is two different pests and the chewed up leaves are not my biggest concern. I may have a bush full of buds; the next morning they are all gone help please. The bush is 2 years old and is in good health otherwise. It attracts butterflies and I have watched almost no caterpillars. I have seen some lady bugs and caterpillars before but not recently. I do have squirrels that run around near it but the vines would not be able to support their weight. I have asked pros in my area and they don't have any answers either. Please help!

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I will be unable to see the damage to diagnose the issue.
Your description of mottled leaves brings about the thought of a Mosaic Virus. If this is the case, it is going to be permanent.
If this is a different patterning of yellow, it could be one of many nutrient deficiencies depending on, exactly, where and how the yellowing appears.

Certified ExpertA.Uh oh... That's Mosaic Virus. Thank you for reattaching the photo. You will need to grow all future crops (including many vegetables) either in container or in another area.
