It is powdery mildew, which lilacs are susceptible to and is fairly common. Trim away all the badly affected branches and dispose of them in the trash - get them out of your yard. Treat any spots remaining with a fungicide.
Reply:It is most likely powdery mildew. Lilacs are known for this. Make up a mixture of one-half milk and one-half water and spray it on the bark where you see the mildew once a week or so. See if that takes care of it - milk is known to be a great cure for mildew.
