My son has an oak tree that is actually his neighbor's but hangs over his deck providing nice shade. He recently noticed distorted leaves and is wondering what should be done, if anything, to care for it.

This looks like an environmental issue, not insects or disease. We can't say from the photos was is causing the discoloration. It may have been caused by some substance or high temperatures nearby.
Monitor the tree. If he sees new or different symtoms, send us more photos.

Again, we are not seeing anything to be concerned about. As previously stated this looks environmental and not insect or disease related. If you should have any other concerns about the tree contact a certified arborist for an onsite evaluation of the tree.
