Your lilac is probably suffering from Bacterial Blight. The weather this year has caused this to be a common problem. It is not fatal. Sanitation is extremely important. Clean up all leaves as they fall and dispose of them. https://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/plant/deciduous/lilac/leavesbrownwilted.html
