have a look-see
Give it inspection
Have a look-see means to take a quick look or brief inspection: Let me have a look-see at what's under the hood.
The phrase is casual and slightly playful, treating the act of looking as a small errand.
Look-see can also stand alone as a noun: I'll go take a look-see.
