Is it OK to say 'check with sb.' to mean I'm not so sure about sth. and  need to talk to somone to be able to get their second opinion?

e.g. I need to check with Maggie.

Thanks,

Hi,

Yes, fine.

In N. America, a similar, slang-only, spoken expression is I need to run that by Maggie.  

Best wishes, Clive
