In summary:
If a person is not certain about the emission of pre-seminal fluid (madhy), he is not required to perform (full ritual bath); he only needs to perform wudu (ablution) as a precaution. However, if he is certain of its emission, he must perform wudu and wash the penis and testicles. As for semen (manyi), its emission necessitates ghusl, which removes both major and minor ritual impurity, and wudu is not required in addition to ghusl.
As for the emission of wind, it only necessitates wudu; no ghusl or washing of a specific limb is required.
And Allah knows best.
