take a gander
Have a peek
Take a gander means to look at something, usually casually or out of curiosity: Take a gander at this photo.
The expression is informal and slightly old-fashioned, evoking the image of a goose craning its neck to see.
Let me take a gander at that engine before you call a mechanic.
