acid in methyl salicylate? What are the problems with doing a FeCl3 test to identify unreacted salicylic acid in methyl salicylate?

I have to answer this question after doing the Synthesis of Aspirin and Oil of Wintergreen lab and I can't think of any problems there would be. Any help would be so appreciated!
