Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
The liquid described by you is mazi, which comes out generally when one is aroused. Mazi is impure. It only breaks ones wudhu. Ghusal is not necessary. It is necessary to wash the private parts and the soiled portion of the undergarment. If the soiled portion of mazi on the body or on the undergarment is equivalent to the hollow of ones palm, the salah will not be discharged.
And Allah knows best
