Well, unless you're talking about something indicated in the novel, I don't recall Vito mysteriously knowing that Tessio was the traitor.
All he did was to advise Michael that there WOULD be a traitor, and that it would be the person who approached him to set up the meeting that would result in Michael's assasination.
But again, the novel going into much more 'depth' as stated by all...I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Vito at some point would suspect a particular person.

ps - and NO, AllAboutTheFamily, UK V does not understand what you are saying or at the very least he won't admit to understanding.
He's having too much fun insisting that Tessio's move was NOT a smart one, simply because it resulted in his demise.
Which of course, is not a smart theory.
