What is your question?
The car stalled and turned off had to have it towed home the guy said it was my alternator so I had another alternator put on and had to jump it off to get it to start. The battery was replaced about 6 months ago. When we take the terminal off after it's started it stays running so the alternator seems to be good but once it's turned off it won't start back up. It clicks and all just don't seem to be getting power to start unless we jump it off. I took it to AutoZone and they said the alternator and battery were good. Got home and it wouldn't start again. We took terminals off and cleaned them and jumped it off and it ran fine for about a week. While driving down the road I hit a pothole and it stalled and died down got someone to jump me off brought it home and the next morning I popped the hood and it looked like the battery was leaking. Hooked up a old battery jumped it off but once off and I tried to start it it just started clicking so I unhooked the positive terminal please help

Firstly - NEVER disconnect battery while engine is on - that is a mistake - trust me! I think you should fully charge the battery if capable - then concentrate on the battery cable connections and condition of the cable ends that connect to battery - battery post should be cleaned as well. IF no luck with diy repair - seek *hands-on* assistance from qualified personnel.
Simply put, I don't trust the battery. Have the battery checked and tested by a professional -- not AutoZone. Then, you'll need to have testing performed when the failure is occurring. Is there a lack of voltage from the battery? Cranking amps? Is there enough voltage and amperage, but the cable connections are suspect? Is all of that good but the starter motor is drawing too much in the way of amperage? Many questions that will lead to solving your issues. Everything Pushrod said too.
