battery, starter, or worse?

This morning my car wouldn't start...had no power. Popped the hood and noticed white gunk on the battery connectors so I cleaned it off. This isn't the original battery I replaced it 2ish years ago it's a bosch. It seemed like the car was getting some juice had someone come to jump it the lights and stuff would come on but it still wouldn't turn over. Now that the battery isn't connected to an external power source it has no juice (no radio or lights). Now I'm waiting on a tow to take it to the shop...what do you think it is? I have an '05 Justa manual convert w/110k. Car issues really stress me out :(
